Description

Trapdoor Spider Substrate

  • 1500g pre-mixed natural clay-based substrate, moist and ready to use.
  • Provides an excellent medium for burrowing spiders and enhances burrow stability in captivity.
  • Suitable for trapdoor spiders including Arbanitis spp, Cataxia spp, Euoplos spp. Idiommata spp. and many others. 
  • Pre-frozen to eliminate pests and parasites.

 

Directions for use

  • Fill enclosure to appropriate level for species and specimen size.
  • Lightly compact the substrate using your hand or flat object.
  • Create a pilot hole for the spider to begin the burrow (using a finger or pencil). The hole should be slightly wider than the spider's body profile.
  • Introduce the spider into the hole.
  • Maintain the substrate moisture by spraying or adding small volumes of water as required. Avoid over watering as the substrate will become sodden and muddy.

    Awesome value and already moist for use. Very well packaged and promptly posted, super happy and so is my spider! She’s already made a beautiful tunnel throughout

    Good multi purpose substrate.

    I mix a small amount of this with the coco peat in larger tarantula enclosures to mimick a more natural substrate. I also use a layer of it in my feeder cricket enclosure for egg laying.

    Great amount for the price! I use it for my burrowing T's mostly, mixed with coco substrate. But I have also used it for wolf and jumping spider enclosures. Perfect for mixing your own substrates for multiple species depending on there requirements or preferences.

    I bought this just in case I ran out of substrate for my invertebrate population and it has kept its moisture for a while.

    Exactly what you need for a trapdoor or other burrowing spider. An excellent substrate choice for any animal that wants a clay based substrate not just trapdoor spiders.
