[QUOTE="Deemar, post: 46109, member: 2905"] Coconut substrate should never be used for a tarantula enclosure, it's too dry and it sucks the moisture out of their skin causing them to develop wrinkles on their abdomens. It also causes them great stress as a result. After hearing this from a well known Canadian breeder and viewing some of his collection, he told me he uses a mixture of 60% black earth and 40% cedar mulch, I use it for all my spiders and they seem much healthier now. In fact I just changed out my Green Bottle Blue tank Friday afternoon and it has been running all over that tank webbing up everything in sight. The black earth and cedar mulch I just get at any Rona or Home Depot. I prefer Rona because it's Canadian. [/QUOTE]
