[QUOTE="DreadedNeith, post: 135871, member: 28071"] Thanks. I never even thought about a contaminaded animal tranfering toxins. Also the mold issue worries me. I might stick to coconut fiber and eventually go get some moss. I knkw coconut fiber is mkre resisten to mold because there arent a lot of nutrients in it to sustain a lot of mold. How mold resistant would a mox like the one you mention be? Ive also heard that adding moss to the mix makes the acidity in the substrate go up and helps prevent mold. The more I look into the substrate thing the more i realize just how big of a can of worms i am openeing. It seems everyone has a mix and everyone debates what the best one is. The coconut fiber seems to be working just fine. I may not be able to grow anything in it but at least the spider is healthy and happy. I guess if its not broke dont fix it huh? [/QUOTE]
