| Hey guys just asking what substrate is best used for my Brazilian White Knee?
I've been hearing 60% peat moss 40% coco fibre. Or the other way around. Pretty confused.
Thanks in advance! |

| Hi there,
Found this simple care guide on them: http://www.arachnopets.com/tarantulas/tcaresheets/ageniculatac.htm
The sources I read suggest that coco-fiber is fine as substrate or sterilized potting soil. |

| Alright thank you so much.
Wow full grown adult is HUGE at 7 - 9 inches long.
Also for a 1 inch Brazilian White Knee, is it fine to house them in a 13'' by 7'' by 7'' cage? |

| Sure, that's fine. As long as it's able to catch its prey and feed, it's good
