honestly looks like yard dirt and sand. i would not be surprised if there were other things in it also. for instance alot of people who mix them also throw in some peat moss or something similar.

i use red mexican clay (for pottery from a crafts store) to make substrate fertilizer for my fish tank. using either the sand or the clay with a good organic potting soil should do the trick just fine. i don't think either should affect a spider in any way.
you could also try mixing yard dirt with these things, but cautions MUST be taken in that scenario.

What about some of the heavy substrates used for burrowing reptiles?
