Mine also likes it a little more moist than dry. They are spectacular, grow rather fast, and have a splendid feeding response: they almost jump on their prey as soon as it has touched the ground. I use peat ("blonde peat", I don't know how to say it in english), but it's not ecologically friendly, so you better use topsoil or coco peat, as have been said.The three tarantulas you are talking about are great display spiders, it's great to get them for your son and you.</blockquote>
