Lay box substrate

BOBAFETT Jun 19, 2003 10:21 PM

Hi. My female is going to lay soon. I dont know what they really prefer to lay in. Some say moss, some say vermiculite. What would she most likely lay in. Any help would be great.

if you have vermiculite use it over moss. The best I have found is bed-a-beast,forest bed, eco-earth. All three are basically the same they retain water really well and they love to dig and lay in them.

I use vermiculite in my laybox-laybox. I catch both of my leo's hanging out in it just about every day.. My female laid in it on tuesday too. It holds moisture really well
