This seems bigger than most "rule of thumb" enclosures. Maybe its just camera perspective as the water dish looks really big too. Just curious if perhaps you had provided this spider more room to roam

That's a Zoo Med low profile enclosure for terrestrial invertebrates. It measures 10.5 x 20.5 x 8. Less height and more floor space. That's what your looking for with a mature terrestrial spider. This spider in the photo isn't mature but she's just fine in this enclosure. I always try to give the largest water dish possible... spiders float on the waters surface, they won't drown. The unwritten rules are suggestions for new hobbiest to aid in honing their husbandry skills.

Alot of it is probably the camera angle. She also fills her bowl with substrate as you can see. Any dish smaller and she will flip it over. Shes about 5", not full grown yet.
