"I get this for my daughters Ebony Tarantula. Hes just a little guy but he insists he needs a 50 gallon tank to adventure around in. This little brick of fiber covers the whole tank at about an inch thick. It holds moisture pretty good, he seems happy in his tank. I feel like his molting will be good..."
