Substrates

[antinous]

Doubt your tarantula has any issue with it, cocofiber does hold structures quite well (even tho others say it doesn’t) even when dry as tarantulas reinforce it with silk. But I’ve used just straight cocofiber, straight peat, mixture of cocofiber and vermiculite, mix of cocofiber, vermiculite and sphagnum moss, and now I’ve been messing with cocofiber mixed with reptisoil and vermiculite as my local pet store was out of another bag of cocofiber. In the future I’d like to mess around with topsoil (but need to test out a good brand and winter isn’t the best time to go so) and a good ABG mix (for vivarium).

I take this back, going out tomorrow to get some topsoil (Scott’s Premium), peat moss I have left over, and some vermiculite and use that for most of my future enclosures. Toying with the idea of getting some lump hardwood charcoal to mix in as well.
