[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 141709, member: 26980"] For a dry spider, EcoEarth Coco fiber is just fine. For my more moisture dependent species, even those who just appreciate a bit of moisture, I use organic 100% chemical free peat with maybe a very thin layer of coco fiber on top. I do use moist vermaculite, but only as a base layer on the bottom and not mixed in with anything above it but only for a moist enclosure. Peat is highly resistant to mold, which makes it preferable in moist conditions. Lasiodora species such as L parahybana do appreciate some extra moisture as well as a bit of frog moss by the water dish. Any Lasiodora is a great choice and many species are available. Care requirements are identical. [/QUOTE]
