This is why I use cork as flooring material, I only add sphagnum when they female appears gravid. Sphagnum and leaf litter are excellent, however they do allow insects hiding, this is a problem because at night they climb up the branches and nip on the sleeping lizards, I tong feed or bowl feed when using these substrate.

Also leaf attracts little dug beetles, they aren’t a problem however soon you will have a zillion of them and you substrate will be moving like a living being.

Moss on the other hand will attract fruit fly’s, the poo and dead insects in combination with humidity allows for perfect incubation of fruit fly’s, I hate these little fly’s as they invade my entire house.

I usually keep a pair of emerald swifts in the leaf litter cages and house geckos in the moss cages to counter the bug attack syndrome.
