I was going to use some potting soil that i have used for my crested and tree frogs but the store i get it from isnt carrying it at the moment and i havnt been able to find any that doesnt have some kind of plant food or similar stuff

Thanks Jason

I use peat moss, but that is a substrate that I know a lot of people say is bad. I use it without problems for virtually all of my animals that require some sort of dirt. Often times I mix it with sand.

get yourself some eco earth or some forrest bed... compressed coconut fiber wont hurt em if digested and will pass easily. just drop it in some h20 for about 30 mins and you gotz a bucket of substrate! lol! look it up online or hit up a local petstore. i believe the eco earth is made by zoo med.
