Hi
I've just switched from bark clippings to COIR Coco Soil Coconut Fibre. When I put it in yesterday it was quite wet and already its drying out. My Russian loves the stuff and is right underneath it. I've lined the bottom with pond liner so not to rot my viv. It took 5 hours to do it and disinfect it all. Shes not 100% sure and I've not seen her today. I took her out the hide to place her on her food and she ate quite alot. How do I keep this stuff wet underneath. Should it be really wet underneath because it's like a desert at the moment. Shes covered in it. She really does like digging under it though. Does anybody have any ideas apart from just pouring water in sections or is that what I should do. I didn't think it would dry so fast when I put it in, I thought it was to wet, so I added some that hadn't been soaked, but left it wet enough, but today now the lighting is in, its drying so fast. humidity is at a perfect level though.
