So, when it comes to substrates for T's I see quite a wide variety being used by different people. Some use wood chips, others use straight peat, coconut fibers, some use top soil, and some use sand..then I see this fake grassy stuff....its all just too much lol. So I wanted to ask you all and get your opinions on which substrate works best.
Which type do you use and why?
What are the pros and cons for each type?
What has your personal experience been with each one..(ie. hard to keep moist, hard to keep clean, mold growth, mites, etc..)
Anything else you want to ad..?
Im sure that it depends on the specific species of T's also. Over the years Ive used wood chips, top soil and sand, (yes, I know wood chips and sand are bad, this was a mistake I made as an amateur keeper) and I find that most of my terrestrial T's are happy on the soil. I also make sure there is plenty of ventilation..
Thanks for your help in advance.
