I know coconut fiber is many people's least favorite substrate choice but I barely have problems using it to be honest so because of my good experiences using it I can absolutely recommend it to people but 1 thing to keep in mind with coconut fiber is it dries out very quick so it doesnt hold the humidity for very long time. Since it doesnt hold the water very well it requires soaking the substrate more often than other substrate choices so coconut fiber substrate might be really bad choice to use for asian tarantulas that love alot of humidity unless you dont mind watering the substrate whenever its needed of course <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
