ok today my p regalis and p fasciata arrived from lllreptile along with some dubia.. amazing packing btw.. but the pokies arrived in a deli container.. fairly large containers thanfully but they are on slightly damp paper towels.. my issue is that my supplies hasn't arrived and probably wont for a few days.. so I'm am about to run to wal mart to pick up some emergency bedding.. as long as there isn't any added fertilizer would potting soil do until we get the eco earth shipment?

Yep, just check the back of the bag, make sure they haven't added anything. Stay away from the miracle gro stuff, they add foods to it. I'd get a bag of peat moss. Lighter than potting soil, and cheaper.

ok I took the pokies out and put in the top soil and returned the spiders to the deli containers.. the fasciata wasn't bad but my god the regalis is SO dang fast!!!! it was insane how fast it is but luckily all is well and they seem to be settling in... once they have had tine to calm down I'll get some pics
