How much moss?

[buddhistsoldier88]

How much s. moss should i use for a ten gallon? I'm getting a Heirodula membranacea ooth and want the lil guys to be comfy in the new abode that i will set up pretty soon. Want it just right! And how can i tell if the humidity is right w/o equip?

I usually do half an inch or maybe a little less.

has anyone ever tried vermiculite as a substate? I'm using it now, works pretty good although sometimes mantids catch the stuff alog with the food

cheers

Yeah or whatever I am using. Also put plenty of fake plants or sticks or something in there too.

When I do, I put a very thin layer. It makes changing it easier and less wasteful but humidity won't be as high.

how can i regulate the temp in the tank? its always so damned hot down in my basement...gotta fig it out...probably 80's...

that temperature seems ok. It's 80-90 degrees in my house.

Can I use green moss instead of sphagnum? Sphagnum is real difficult for me to find.
