I'm a new bp owner, just got my boy at the Herp World expo in San Jose on Saturday. I started him with shredded aspen, but I live in a particularly dry location and I'm having difficulty keeping the humidity constant. I've moved some things around in the terrarium and draped a blanket over half of the screen top, and this seems to be working better than yesterday. It used to be that the humidity would drop from 50 to 20 within an hour, but right now it's been at 45 for a good amount of time. However, it's still steadily decreasing.

Now, I've bought a few blocks of Exo Terra forest moss, and I'd like to give it a shot. Just wondering if this is a good idea, or if I should stick with aspen, because I see that aspen is a fairly popular substrate option.
