So I'm giving up on Aspen for good... And it only took my 80% of a 4 qt bag to do so. Reason being is I have my tank set up exactly as it should, tin foil around 80-90% of the top w an opening only for my infrared, a LOOOOT of moss in there. I have to mist the tank every 2-3 hours just to keep humidity above 50%. Even when I can manage to get it to 60-70 it drops so fast.
So I'm switching to an eco-earth/cypress mulch combo. Having said this I do have some questions... I just changed my BPs substrate 2-3 days ago. When I took him out I noticed very cloudy eyes so I am assuming a shed is very soon to come. I am wondering if taking him out this many times will interfere at all/too much? I just want his overall environment to be right ASAP. I work long days at my job and am a college student. I feel so bad coming home from work, waking up, etc and seeing his tank has pretty much dried out.
Also, when you guys use eco-earth do you mist regularly or do you get the substrate moist somehow before putting the cypress in or something?
Thanks!
