I use Eco Earth, a coconut fiber substrate. It's the stuff that comes in the compressed bricks--just add water. It is very absorbent and allows you to control humidity very well depending on how much water is in the substrate. I always mist it down pretty well when my Ball is in shed, and she has had perfect sheds every time. It also clumps very well, which makes spot cleanup a breeze. I highly recommend it, especially if you're putting a terrarium together for show or to recreate a more natural environment. I just wouldn't recommend feeding in the cage, as the particulate substrate could be easily ingested. Good luck!
