what do you use for your whites substrate?

i was thinking a mix of moss, top soil, eco earth and some bark chips

but maybe not the bark?

just a quick bit of advice would be nice

I'd be very very careful here. Chunks are not wise.

I used to use eco earth but now i just use repti carpet.

eco earth with a thick layer of moss carpet.

thats what iv always used

 

[soloth]

so would a layer of eco earth underneath a thick layer of sphagnum moss be okay?

also, how many can i get in a nearly 2ft square viv? we made it out of ikea shelving and didn't realise how big it would turn out!

 

[redeyedanny]

one or two depending if you wanted to upgrade to a bigger one soon?

yeah thats your badger with substrate

 

[basky]

yeah im with dan on the substrate, thats what i use for mine. a viv that size wont hold many as they get quite big, especially the girls.

I was always finding their poohs bundled up with moss so i stopped using it.
