Message: <blockquote data-quote="MassExodus" data-source="post: 57757" data-attributes="member: 4086"><p>I've got an adult female genic and a large sling/small juvie female. Both like moist substrate. Not wet, but moist. Every time I make a moist area, they get right in it. Most hobbyists say to keep them dry, and just give them a water dish. That is not the way to keep them, in my opinion. I've started keeping them moist, like Pamphos now, and they both show a marked difference in behavior. They seem much more content, not quite sure how to describe it...but they're happier. Don't keep a genic dry <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> Some here may disagree, but my own experience is what I'm going by. Lots of ventilation, I mean lots, and moist sub. And btw, the deal doesn't seem too bad, but I don't buy pre made enclosures <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
