Fat Tail substrate

Fekes Jan 09, 2008 07:46 PM

I was wondering what everyone uses as a substrate with their Fat Tails? I read they can use anywhere from Paper Towels to Bed-A-Beast. I use Paper towels right now. I also read they should have a higher enclosure humidity than leos but does that mean they should just have a humid hide (which I do have) or should I try to up the humidity in the whole enclosure?

I have a fried that has a beautiful striped amel. female fat-tail and he keeps it in the exact same conditions that he keeps his leos and she has thrived.

1-Moist Hide Box
2-Water Bowl
3-CA Dish
4-UTH controlled by Rheostat
5-Paper Towel Substrate

Hope this helps!

A humid hide is all that's necessary. Just that little extra to help with sheds.
