The substrate I have at the moment is some coconut husk mixture (came in a brick w/ terrarium) should I allow that to dry out or keep it damp? I have an a. Avic.
I put a pretty thin layer for all of my avics, dry, and I occasionally over fill the water dish at random times. Other than that I always keep the water dish full and that seems to be all the humidty they needThe substrate I have at the moment is some coconut husk mixture (came in a brick w/ terrarium) should I allow that to dry out or keep it damp?

Dry sub is best for Avics. Just make sure you have good ventilation...that's the most important thing for Avics. For humidity just use a nice big water dish (or two).The substrate I have at the moment is some coconut husk mixture (came in a brick w/ terrarium) should I allow that to dry out or keep it damp?

Obviously she hasn't told me but my Megaphobema Mesomelas is thriving on wet substrate.No tarantula likes wet substrate. Grab it and squeeze out any water you can. With the Avic, you only need a thin layer. If it's a little damp, it will be ok until it dries, but like the above posters, they like it dry. Let the water dish overflow later for humidity.
OK, I'll give you that. But to split hairs, are we confusing damp and wet?Obviously she hasn't told me but my Megaphobema Mesomelas is thriving on wet substrate.
Damp in areas wet in areas.OK, I'll give you that. But to split hairs, are we confusing damp and wet?
Cyriopagopus lividusNo tarantula likes wet substrate.
Its bot relevant really if you refer back to the first few comments.I believe we are confusing wet and damp. So.
Should my ciconic fibre sub be dark brown or light brown
Damp, yes. Wet, no. The T blondi may need the most humidity, but having it on wet substrate all the time? Like @Chris LXXIX said, we are talking about arachnids here.Cyriopagopus lividus
Theraphosa stirmi/blonde
Acanthoscuria geniculata
Lasiodora parahybana
Hell even Pelinobius muticus will very often direct their burrows directly into the damp/wet sub under the water dish as opposed to the dry. There are quite a few species whom very clearly prefer wetter environments
Depends what you call wet. It shouldn't be a swampDamp, yes. Wet, no. The T blondi may need the most humidity, but having it on wet substrate all the time? Like @Chris LXXIX said, we are talking about arachnids here.
