    Question Would you use this substrate?

    I bought some Prococo substrate at my local reptile show last month. Put it in some water, soaked it for a few second's until all of the air bubbles were gone then put it in a tub in my garage. I was stupid and didn't provide any air holes or let it somewhat dry out. So I go to get some and I see there is condensation inside the tub. Nothing smells or looks weird. Not sure if i should risk using it or just let it dry out in the sun tomorrow, put some air holes in the lid and go ahead and use it.

    Would you use this substrate?

    I seen lots of people get Repti Chip to wet when soaking it I let it air out and check for any mold later on but sure sounds fine to me, but hopefully someone with more experience will chime in

    It doesn't sound like anything's wrong to me- I'd just let it dry out and use it!
