[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 143075, member: 26980"] That's why it's wet and underneath something else!! It keeps my C versicolor from getting exposed to excess humidity which can kill it. The water dish is elevated so it won't dry out regardless of substrate. If kept wet, vermaculite is an excellent way to store moisture and slowly release it. Cocofiber can generally be substituted for peat, but one must be watchful for mold. I'm a little leery of top soil because it's not sterile and not specifically formulated for exotic pets, to scared to use it. 100% Sphagnum Peat Moss for Gardening (8 quart) [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3Z5XFK/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20[/URL] The shipping is probably highway robbery but it can be found.
