I use sterilite boxes, this particular one has nothing in it at that time. (The water dish I put in the enclosure was for reference, as my larger water dishes are being used). Heat mats are not recommended when it comes to tarantulas, as there is always the potential for a frying to take place. When it comes to mos, if not all tarantulas will thrive in room temperature (65-80⁰ F). If supplemental heating is needed, space heaters are the way to go.

He does 3 sizes but I start slings off in his 3" cubes.

The top part is completely dry, the bottom part moist. The spider can choose where to go. I do have real plants and I never use heating pads.

Coco fiber is usually a staple for most keepers.

Coco fiber with some sphagnum moss. I don't pack my substrate too much. Also never had a brachypelma, but I don't think there's to much variation. I use my heat mat for Dubia.

You'll get more and better answers with some punctuation.

Heat pads shouldn't be used on tarantulas. Its not safe.

Here is one of my Brachypelma enclosures:

These are my enclosures. From left to right. H Mac pterinochulus murinus, and 3 Lasiodora parahybana. These are just for babies, but anything similar should do the trick.
