Help with tank heating

[TreF68]

Yeah, even if sand is more like what they have in the wild, something like coco fiber would probably be easier to burrow into (plus it's cheaper haha). I was wondering though... I use coco fiber for my ball python for the sole reason that it seems to hold humidity better... so would that be a problem with rosies?

I'm going to be using shredded aspen for mine (the zoo med kind, not the kind that's mainly chips and flakes). I use it for my corns and king, and it really packs down nicely and seems to hold burrows well.

I swapped to coconut fiber because the sand was shredding my hands! they got so dry it was crazy! The coconut fiber is really good at holding moisture, but it also stays dry as long as you dont spray it down. I only put about a centimeter of water in my rosies dish so there is little risk of her spilling it. Its dried out over night and is working really well. heats up nicely as well once dry.

Also, she loves diggin in it!
