Default substrate for egg laying box U. Milli

I know this question has been asked several times....but i am interrested in why you choose that substrate?
I have heard of coco peat, sand, etc etc...what are the pro's and con's?
At this time i am using sand, but thinking about putting a second egg laying box in the terrarium with a other substrate...

Please let me know what you are thinking!

Greetings Marc

it would be unuseful, you need only one, sand is perfect and remember to wet it every other day or every day depending on your house temperature on the cold side.

I haven't worked w N. milii but heard others say they use a 50/50 mix of sand and peat moss.

Slightly damp long fiber sphagnum moss works well for me for all kinds of geckos, including these.

Best,

Chuck

I use sand now, they started using it for shedding a few days ago....so i think they will use it, but i'll keep all the options in mind. Thanks for all your reply's!
