[Cas S]

Ok i just went to the store and got some peat moss, is this the right kind?
It doesnt say organic or 100% peat but the only ingredient listed is peat moss

No. Fine the way it is.

I saw you mentioned Reptisoil. I have that too. I had Eco Earth and topsoil that I mixed. I saw that so I thought I'd try it out. Honestly, cant really tell a whole lot of difference between it and the Eco Earth. For me, I just mix the topsoil in with the cocofiber/reptisoil and that holds the moisture well enough. The topsoil is heavier so if you have a large enclosure it may be an issue, but mine are mostly tiny and the big ones I have no reason to carry around so I don't care that they are heavy.
