[QUOTE="DalilahBlue, post: 6224, member: 375"] The way I do my coco is break off small pieces (I buy compressed bricks from garden supply shops) and place it in a bowl with a bit of water and squish it with my hands, adding water and substrate til I have the amount I need and it is moist but not dripping water. It just needs to be damp. Keep in mind if you have the compressed stuff it will EXPAND, more than you ever thought it would.... Depending on the specie you want to keep one side damp and one side drier. Overflowing the water bowl, and/or spritzing a 1/3 of the tank works for most guys. Some species need more humidity so there are other things you could do. I would go ahead and have my tank ready so that you can put your T in as soon as she arrives. [/QUOTE]
