Hey all, I was wondering if there was a difference between coconut fibre and shredded coconut husk in terms of substrate. In preparation for the spiders I plan on buying soon, i bought a brick of shredded coconut husk from my local Petland.
However, I've noticed that it is a lot "choppier" in texture than what I usually see in photos or videos. By that, I mean that there are some relatively large pieces of coconut husk, the biggest being perhaps 3/4" square, mixed in with both long and short fibres. Since the product I have differs from what I usually see, I'm wondering if I may have grabbed tue wrong thing. I was under the impression that pretty much any coconut-based substrate would be the same or at least similar.
So is the thing I bought (check the link above for the exact product page) the same as what other people use? More importantly, will it be an acceptable substrate for slings/tarantulas in general?
