Hey so i saw this zilla jungle mix substrate at petland and was wondering if it would work for a redfoot. I have the eco earth block stuff right now and it just dries out really fast and i was wondering if the zilla stuff, since it has mosses in it, would stay moist longer. Heres the link

Peat moss is a great material and after the initial time of wetting it (which by the way takes FFFOOOORREEEVER the first time, lol) it is a good source for moisture....I would however go to Home Depot and get this at a larger volume per cost--this way you can pile in a nice thick substrate flooring (like 5-6 inches at least) to start with and still have some to add later as it compresses....
