Hey everyone,
Although I have lurked this forum (without sign up) for years, today I have created an account to ask a question that I couldn't find otherwise (apologies in advance if I didn't search hard enough, please link me to it).
Can I use ground coffee beans (after extraction of a nice cup using my Moka pot) as a substrate for my centipede?
My centipede likes to burrow inside the substrate and I believe coffee grounds make a very good burrow-able substrate.
For the past 2 years, I have kept it in a self-made substrate using some garden soil, beach sand and coconut husk.
My only concerns are that coffee absorbs water and oxidizes too fast. Can this be a problem?
Thank you!
