age old question of bedding

[Odonata]

I was not overly impressed with the peat moss on its own. Mostly because it did not hold a burrow well, but also as already mentioned the top seems to dry out very quickly. I opted to go with an organic top soil since it is the organic matter that really helps it retain moisture, and added peat moss and sand, probably 50% topsoil overall. Seems to be working well.

I think I'm just going to stick with cypress

As long as I watch and make sure none is ingested or feed him outside of his cage it is easier and works well for him

I just switched mine to an organic soil and bark mixture. So far I love the difference in their skin!
