    BP substrate mixture?
    Hi,
    For my BP im going to use aspen bedding. I also know that BPs need a certain high amount of humidity.

    Do you guys it would be alright to mix aspen with coconut fiber?? (i think thats the name of it)

    Thank you!

    It can vary per house.
    I use aspen or paper towels.

    What is your humidity like and what are you using for housing?

    I live in the UK and still need to measure the humidity, waiting for the hygrometer.

    My terrarium is made of OSB and im going to put a protective layer of probanly vynil to make sure the humidity doesnt enter im contact with wood to prevent rot

    What are you using for heat?
    OSB does not handle any moisture well at all.
