[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 133670, member: 27677"] I worried about that too. Most of the labels do say "mould resistant" but the ingredients listed are just minerals , I think perhaps anything that is mostly portland cement would be naturally resistant to mould/fungus, perhaps due to the ph ? However I did buy a bag that didn't specifically state that it was mould resistant on the label. I'm fairly sure that once properly cured it will be safe but unfortunately the only real way to be sure will be to try it and see. If it's so commonly used in ant keeping, where it is deliberately kept moist and larvae and eggs are in close contact with it in an almost sealed environment without problems my guess is it will be ok for spiders too. I will certainly let people know one way or the other how it pans out. [/QUOTE]
