Hello All,
I’m a first-time owner and have a juvenile Marginated (~30 grams) living on fir mulch mixed with coco coir. I’ve noticed that as I increase humidity in the enclosure, the fir scent becomes quite strong. I keep the enclosure 50% lidded to hold moisture. I am feeling a bit anxious that the scent may be tormenting the little guy/gal... though he/she isn’t showing any obvious signs of stress. Has anyone else noticed a strong smell from fir or other organic substrates? If I go ahead and swap it all out is there something more “inert” I could use that will still hold the humidity up?
