Tried Peat Moss? I did and had a bad experience with Charina bottae. It tends to get very dry and dusty which seemed to irritate the nares and may have caused a swelling, I had trouble keeping it "just right" humidity, either too dry or too wet... I like the use of humid hides with spaghnum moss (which I think is "peat moss" that hasn't been dried...right?) I live in California where Cypress mulch is generally not available, so I too am looking for the ideal substrate. What do you Dry guys think about CareFresh, a wood pulp product? Thanks, Vic
