For semi-arid species, place 1" of BioBedding Desert on the floor of your enclosure. Add a small amount of dechlorinated water until the bottom inch of the substrate sticks together when squeezed, but no water runs out. Then, add another 2-3" of dry BioBedding on top. More can be used for burrowing species. This substrate does not require a drainage layer. Instead, add water underneath a humid hide every 1-2 months, as needed, to keep the bottom layer moist. Over time, the top layer will develop a crust due to the mist/dry cycle. Mist very lightly every day, ensuring to mist the substrate under the hide directly. For full sand/high desert species, apply a 1-2" layer of BioBedding Desert to the bottom of your enclosure. Add water so that the substrate sticks together when squeezed but does not leak water. Create 4" tall mounds with the damp substrate where humid hides and plants will be, then fill the space between with sand.
