So iv noticed that certain woods are bad from the previous threads so was wondering if Green Jungle fine wood chips are a a safe substrate for a T? they not mad from cedar right? its for reptiles but looks reli cool in a t cage.

Death Stalker,

Stick to palm peat, or sphagnum, or a combo of both, you can even mix in small amounts of fine vermiculite.

Stay away from chips, and bark, if not used as decorations, if used as, stay away from anything Cedar, or Eucalyptus...

Would you say those palm peat bricks you get from your local nersary are good for ts? what is a reli good mixture for all spiders?

I'd be carefull of substrate you get from a nursary. You must always make sure that there aren't any pesticides or other chemicals in for instance those bricks. And unfortunately most of the assistants at nursaries aren't educated enough to really be sure if there is anything in the stuff or not.

And nursaries will tend to use a lot of pesticides and chemicals very carelessly on their plants and that might get transferred to the other products they sell.

Rather use the products you get from petshops it might be a bit more expensive but I've lost a whole lot of snake eggs before from using vermiculite that it bought from a nursary to try and save money, but the ones I hatched in vermiculite bought from petshops are always successful.

Coco peat is then your best bet, decompress the brick by adding boiling water to it, it then expands and that you can use once the excess humidity has gone.

If you want to be real safe with that too, you can always nuke that substrate in the microwave, or the oven.

So i bought palm peat ITS 100% organic and 100% NONTOXIC... it is basicaly the same thing as Coco peat. R27 for a brick..
