Substrate preference poll

[luckie_couture]

i use forest bed for both my Ts. No issues with it, but i make sure it's completely dried out for my rosea. My brachy i keep it SLIGHTLY damp.

My vote goes for coco fiber for its versatility. Can be used dry or damp, and it is easy to clean. And since you only need one kind, can be cheaper and saves space from having multiple type for different kinds of setups.

Lately I've been using a "forest bed", which has coco fiber, vermiculite, and forest wood chips (since I couldn't find Eco Earth). It seems ok for now, but I'll wait until I use it for more that something tropical to give final judgement.

Another vote for coconut fiber. Good stuff.

i use Zilla Fir and Sphagnum Peat Moss for my little A. versicolor sling and it seems to work well in keeping the humidity where it should be.

My vote goes for "other" - the coconut fiber EcoEarth.

Mine as well

I've seen this poll twice, and it never has the coco fibre option.

My T's are tropical so I use a layer of hydro clay balls on top of that coco fiber.

i use the coco fiber

I normally use either 100% peat or a 80-20 ratio of peat and sand, but for my most recent project, an adult female P. formosa in a 10 gallon aquarium, I used 100% potting soil (due to low cost), and so far it's been great.

Been using coco fiber, good stuff. Easy to use, looks natural, holds moisture but also can be used dry, no mold, no complaints

Coco fiber

Coco fiber for all my T's! Easy to clean and no mold/fungus problems to report.

 

[Blue Ice]

I actually use Coco Peat. Usually sold at ACE.

Coco Fiber Mix

i also use fine-med Coco fiber. i buy it in a compressed brick. i add alil vermiculite to species that require high humidity. i also add peat/sphagnum moss to dwelling/hiding species.

Eco Earth has been my recent "Best" choice substrate for all my T's. I once had a really tiny grey shroom grow in one enclosure...and no it was not on purpose. Adding some potting soild would help make it denser for those burrowers.

 

[Lizardux]

Same here.. Cocofiber bricks.. No mold, no shrooms, no problems Great humidity preservation. Just have to keep wach for T meal leftovers. Sometimes they start a little mold

 

[Steve Calceatum]

Coco-fiber. I usually use Exo Terra Plantation Soil.

 

[Bonedog]

I'm a coco-nut.

 

[ZergFront]

75% peat moss-25% vermiculite. Seems to work all right..

 

[starscreamzx3]

I use a layer of peat moss on the bottom and coconut fiber on top. the mixter depends on the need of the Tarantula. More peat moss if the T needs more humidity.

 

[BCscorp]

cocofiber 80%/20% peat
