    I use spagnum moss. I like it cause it is pretty natural looking, and it was the closest thing I could come to for natural that they would not tear up. I thought about usng live sheet moss, but they like to burrow a bit instead of using thier hides, so I am afraid to use that. Although, I wish I could.

    I use aspen, since I have it on hand for the bps. Mine likes to bury himself in the stuff, and is starting to use his hide more too.

    paper towels all the way for me. no risk of ingestion, easy clean-up, cheap and i never have to search the cage for eggs--females are provided with a lay box and don't dig or bury eggs elsewhere. since i have a lot of cages, natural looking substrate isn't a huge concern. my large adult cages are somewhat naturalistic with bamboo and foliage which i like, but i still use paper towels for them. i have tons of kritter keepers of all sizes for hatchlings and juvies and anything other than paper towels isn't even an option for all of them.

    Thanks for sharing! For those of you that don't use paper towels, do you feed crickets on the loose substrate?

    I do not use crickets at all. My geckos get CGD, Clarks, Herptivite and Rep Cal to suppliment for thier requirements.

    Yup, I feed CGD too. I will occassionally supplement with crickets, but I usually feed in another tub.
