is this stuff any good? i keep reading that it holds humidity very well but i tested some in a critter cage before putting it in my display and it looks more muddy than anything? i didnt even use much water. im new to spiders and got an A.seemani which seems to be doing fine but i have a much thicker coco husk bedding mixed in with repti/bark to make it look nicer for the top layer but very thin, about 1/4inch and she doesnt seem to be able burrow. she tried in one spot but didnt dig even 2inches deep. any help would be greattly appreciated.

Eco Earth is perfect. Is is what just about everybody uses, eith er that or another brand, but the product is the same. If it is muddy, then you need to squeeze out the excess water. I put my brick in the water to expand it, then I squeeze out all the excess water that I can, then I leave it sit out for a week to dry, turning every now and then. While still slightly damp, I pack it into a cage, to form a compact substrate. This will hold up to a burrow much better than just throwing it in loose.
