    Substrate question?

    I have a mixture of Eco Earth and coconut chips/ bark in my BP's cage. The humidity is fine but I was just wondering how moist the substrate should actually be? I spray it ( the bedding not the glass) about once a day. It's not bone dry but it's not wet either. I know if it's too wet it can lead to scale rot. So basically how moist is too moist.Any suggestions?

    Re: Substrate question?

    Hey there, I would say if you were to pick up some of the bedding and be able to feel moisture, but not be able to squeeze water out of it, then it is moist :) Also, i think 1 spray from a bottle on every part of the tank (like one spray per area) twice a day, would be proficient. In the end just check your meters and make tweaks here and there. Find and do whats right for you :D Goodluck
