My baby Sonny's 3 months old now , the only issue I'm having is keeping the substrate moist . Most of the time I have it between 60-80% , but I have to spray it pretty regularly . Right now I'm usin spagnum moss , is there anything else I could use on top of that to keep it moist ? Thanks !

I have found that spraying doesn't usually work. I pour a whole pitcherful of water over the substrate then mix it up with my hand. Once it gets fairly dry and needs more water, I pour more down into a corner so the water runs down under the top layer, which then stays fairly dry.

I do what Yvonne does. I use sphagnum peat moss topped with cypress mulch. I wet my substrate every 3 days are so and I do misting twice a day.
