I use a mixture of Peat Moss, top soil, and Forest Floor, by Zoo Med. I tried using Peat Moss alone, and it was very messy and got in my Cherry Head's eyes. I also put some leaf litter I found in my yard. In the hide, I put long fibered moss to hold humidity. On top of the mixture I put some Fluker's Green Reptile moss. I don't have to mist that often, and it holds the humidity very well.
