Thanks for sharing all the Pictures Robert. Is that vermiculite in pretty much all the enclosures? I could see where it was shiny is a couple of pics, so assumed it must be vermiculite. Would you share your view of using that as a substrate. What are the pros and cons from your experience.
Any situations you don't like to use it?
Thanks much.

Brian,
I use 100% vermiculite for ALL my tarantulas. I've used peat mosse and spagnum mosse in the past but I was either getting problems with fruit flies and/or mold growing from dead crickets that had hidden themselves in the spagnum mosse. I also didn't like using the spagnum as it gave the crickets too many hidding spots. That's another reason I like keeping my tanks as empty as possible. I have NEVER had problemes with vermiculite so I see no reasons to change. It might not be as attractive as peat but I find it does the job a hell of alot better.
I don't want to hog this forum so I will wait and post more pictures another day.

Hog it Robert! Hog it! Thanks for the pics. It is great to see were they come from! Vermiculite? Wow I never would have guessed! TB

Thanks for the info Robert. I'm just getting ready to move those Usambaras, so I'm going to follow your lead and try Vermiculite. I always have some around.
Please keep the pictures coming. How about a close up of one of your divided tanks showing the lid? I'm planning similar, but worry one Tarantula will squeeze through the space at the opening, and visit his neighbor!
