I have recently purchaced a pair of atheris chlorechis and i have them in small rubber maid containers with plastic coated hangers running through it. I have a mix of reptibark and coconut fiber for the substrate. I was told that the fiber alone would mold if kept moist. I have heard that chlorechis were very suseptalbe to mouth rott by minimal contact with this coconut fiber. If anyone has a better substrate to use let me know.

I use Cypress mulch with my vipers. It gets misted everyday and doesn't mold up. Be careful of reptibark it tends to stain everything including the snakes!

cypress mulch. I wouldnt use the coconut or reptibark. I have one enclosure left that still has reptibark in it, that I am changing out this week. That stuff is WAY too dusty...and expensive. I think cypress mulch is about $1.19 (for a huge bag), or so at home depot and other places like that.
