I buy the bricks that you put in water with like 4 or 6 cups of water (I forget what the exact measurement is on the directions of the package, but I follow that), and it holds humidity well. Then, even when it appears dry, I take everything out of the cage and mix up the substrate to get all the still damp layers underneath up and it boosts the humidity all over again.

    I got my BP in February, so it was still winter, and I used this bedding. Now in the summer months, though, where I barely have to do anything extra to maintain humidity like I do in winter months, I noticed what looked like mold on the bedding closest to the water bowl - the wettest part of the cage. I just scooped those bad bits out and looked around the rest of the cage for more, but that was the only spot. Just keep an eye out for that!
    I stopped using the bricks because it holds humidity too well ha ha. The humidity was sky high with bricks but out of the bag and a little spray was perfect. It really is the perfect substrate imo.

    I thought about trying cypress mulch but I know someone who lost a boa on it. It has really sharp pieces and unfortunately one of the pieces went through the boas eye and into the brain, killing it. So be careful of that stuff if you try other substrates.
