X2 on the hide ideas.. I use the coconut coif.. Its brands are beats peat and bed a beast i belive.. Its. Lil time consuming to get right but dirt cheap. 10 bucks here in canada for a brick that expands to 3cf (big as a bag of peat moss) what i like about it is the snakes movement compresses it down.. So its very very easy to spot clean. It also holds humidy very well
