Just a heads up; this video actually does NOT feature any tarantulas. I'm currently writing an article for my blog on how to set up an enclosure for a moisture dependent species, and I thought it might be easier to shoot a video that showed some of my process. I was going to add the rehousing of my T. stirmi on the end, but this was already pushing 10 minutes, and I figured it might be a bit too much to sit through for folks who just wanted to see the T (I'll be posting that one later).
One thing I want to make very clear is that this is MY way of mixing substrate for these guys. There are certainly other ways to do it, and many folks use peat, topsoil, or coco fiber alone with great success. I've just found it quite fun to work with the various substrates to find mixtures that fit my needs.
Many thanks to my son, Roane, who did a great job filming this for me (and barely sniffed!).
