    Substrate and Water! Help
    What substrate is everyone using? I have Reptile bark mixed with some, I forget the name type of soil. He loves it! He's able to borough and do the things he likes in it and it looks great! However, as you can see in the photos as I was cleaning out the cage today there is a lot of water in the bottom! It is starting to smell a little bit so I am cleaning it out. How do I avoid this? Or what are some other solutions? My Reptifogger is on a timer now so it's not on 24 seven. But I'm still getting too much water in the bottom... TIA

    If the water is from the condensation coming from the fogger hose I would also move the water bowl under it to catch the water.

    I'd switch from a soil to Eco Earth. It will absorb water better and not have an odor. Out also looks similar to soil.

    I never would've thought about the condensation issue... I'll look into that.
