Hey Tortoise Forum, what's good?
I haven't posted anything in a couple months, but it's good to see that everyone & there tortoises are doing great. Anyways, I have a dilemma having to find out & choose the best substrate to use inside a humid hide. I'm currently using 50:50 sand & Bed-A-Beast, I like what its done for my Sulcata, but if theirs anything else that I can use beside that & sphagnum peat moss, sphagnum moss Id like to know what it is. I have way to much air flow going through its enclosure to keep the outer substrate moist, it's the same as what I use inside the humid hide. I'm going to change it back to timothy hay & that's why I want to know if I can use a different substrate inside the humid hide. I don't want it to mold. Here's a picture of what I'm dealing with.
Thanks in advance,
