You also need a humid hide. Just a plastic container/bowl that you can cut a door in and flip over to make it extra humid in there.... and a shallow water dish (not like the one in my pic, I discovered it's useless with it's little "stairs".) And even better if you can plant some grass in the substrate. ;)

I am using a flower pot as a hide at the moment, I put sphagnum moss for extra humidity under the hides. Im using cypress mulch for substrate and I will look into planting some grasses. For their food and water dishes im using those terracotta bottoms.

I have cypress mulch mixed with Coco coir. That's what I use. Works well to maintain humidity.

Moss also helps keep humidity up, remember to not let the room get cold during the night, and pill bugs in the tank help keep mold, other unwanted bugs, spilled food, and poop levels down.
