Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Coconut fibre as humid hide substrate
I am currently using sphagnum moss, but some of my geckos have problems of eating the moss while shedding; so I am considering switching to coconut fibre. I bought both the BIO MAT and the Coconut Fibre Potting Medium from Beanfarm; just wondering which one is better for humid hide substrate?

Aren't they both essentially the same thing, in the expandable brick form? I've tried Beanfarm's generic brand as well as Bed-a-beast. The only difference I can make is that Beanfarm's brand smelled like medicine but it eventually went away after a few weeks.

I use coconut fiber in my leos egg laying tubs. It’s very easy to use and holds moisture pretty good. Of the two you mentioned I would say the Bio Mat would be the best to use.

I use to use the coconut fiber with no problems but vermiculite is easier for me to get in larger qty so I use it now.

The Bio Mat package says the material can be washed and is reusable; so, about how long do you need to replace it? Say if I wash it once a week, then throw it away every 6 weeks, that's good enough?
I bought the expandable brick form one too, but I haven't tried mixing it with water yet, how often do you need to replace this one?
Thanks for the replies.

Peat moss works great too.
