Just some questions on red trapdoor spiders (sorry dont have a latin name, but im sure many of you will already know it)

1) what size do they grow to. I read one comparing it to the size of an obt, but that sounds pretty big, i was thinking they only get like 2"?

2) What humidity. I have heard both keep it very dry and moist.

3) I read to add some sticks / small leaves to kelp with the trap door, but is it ok to microwave/ cook these like you would dirt or driftwood?

4) would a 1 gallon rubermaid containor be good ot keep one in? Its about 7x6x12 tall so thats a decent amount of room for substrate.?

%) I head they are fairily agressive, but what is their venom like?
