(A. seemanni ~3") Does this set up look appropriate?

I wanted to get the opinion of people with more experience than myself on this enclosure I put together for my ~3" A. seemanni. Maybe I'm wrong for saying so, but I am trying to find a good balance of a nice looking display and meeting the ideal needs for the tarantula. The enclosure is the Exo Terra Mini Wide (12x12x12"). I am using EarthGro top soil as the substrate. I know that this one likes to burrow, so I did my best to set the enclosure up at an incline. It is ~8" deep at the highest point and ~4" at the front to allow the vents to work. I replaced the mesh lid with vented acrylic using aquarium safe silicone. I know the front shows condensation. The top soil was a bit moist, but I was also putting the enclosure together on my porch in the Florida humidity and heat. Please give me whatever feedback you have. If there is anything you believe I should change, please let me know.

EDIT: I also forgot to point out that there is a water dish in the enclosure. I hadn't put it in when I took the photos.
