[QUOTE="SwedishArachnophobe84, post: 173950, member: 31783"] I will post pictures…as soon as my camera (or rather the program used to transfer the pictures from the camera to the computer) decides to work. I have mixed a little bit of Exo Terra plantation soil (it is made from coconut fiber) and some peat moss and quite a lot of a substrate made specifically for invertebrates called Komodo Invertedbed (made from fen soil and vermiculite…does not seem to be a lot of vermiculite in it though, so I feel it will be ok even for a drier climate). To make it look a little nicer (not so much for the texture of the substrate) I also put a little bit of dry moss in it (Exo Terra forest moss, I just took some directly from the dry “brick”). It feels good (to me) and looks quite natural as well, so all I can do is hope that my little lady approves :T: /SwedishArachnophobe84 [/QUOTE]
