Hello,

Next week i am moving my Davus sp. Panama in to this enclosure, do you think i should change smth?

A substrate mix of about 70% coco coir, 20–25% peat, and 5% dried sphagnum.

And mby i will add live moss to it?
Also should i do the opening of the burrow a bit less or thats fine?

The spider is 2.5cm the terarrium is 15x15x15cm.

i think the biggest mistake new keepers make is just worrying too much. it all looks fine to me. i agree with andrewclayton that the enclosure is bigger than you really need, but there’s no real reason you can’t use a bigger one if you want. as long as the spider can find the water dish and the burrow, extra space doesn’t hurt anything.
your substrate mix is fine. don’t overthink it, it’s all good. the hide/burrow opening is fine too — if spidey wants a bigger doorway, he’ll fix it himself.
welcome to the hobby and the forum.
