The A. Macrodactylum I discussed on an earlier thread has now fully morphed and virtually overnight decided he doesn't like water anymore.
I am preparing a traditional mole salamander setup for a juvenile but I'm having my doubts about what kind of substrates to use. I was mostly thinking of the coconut fiber and potting soil combo with a piece of cork to hide under, but I am terrified of using one that has something in it that will poison it.
I hear people talk about non additive top soils but I'd like to hear specifically what brand/type people have had success with.
If anyone could give a recipe for their soil mix that would certainly help as well.
And actually if anyone uses the unbleached paper towel approach what kind do you trust?
