[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 65152, member: 4086"] It comes moist Kymura but it will dry out if you're using it for a dry species. One thing though, it will distribute moisture to the bottom very well, and hold it, and while the top might look dry there will be very damp soil under it, so it's easy to over saturate it if you don't keep track, check the substrate view at the sides, or poke a finger in it. I've fouled up a few times and had to remove the spider and change the substrate because it was swampy. It's easy to do in the winter when the heater kicks on and you worry about the babies drying out. [/QUOTE]
