[QUOTE="Jess S, post: 155192, member: 29302"] Hi [USER=27677]@Dave Jay[/USER] Really informative, thanks. So the ''false bottom" is the gravel or clay ball layer that holds the moisture which you pour directly to the bottom? If I've understood this right, a false bottom setup could also serve well a dryer terrestrial species, because it gives it the option to dig down to find a more comfortable, cooler humidity level, while still enjoying the dryness at the top? Like the best of both worlds. You also say this method can lessen the explosion of mould (I assume that's as long as there's plenty of ventilation). I'm sure I've heard other people talk about this, but your explanation really helped it 'click' in my mind. So, thank you. And please feel free to correct me on anything I've asked above, if I've got any of it wrong. One other thing was, does anyone have any gravel or clay ball brands to recommend? [/QUOTE]
