substrate for P. grandis thoughts

[whimsy]

Once again I have really tried to find my own answer. So far all of the discussions I have read covered leopards, Tokays, etc., but not grandis. I read the care sheet, but as I recall it presents several options.

I'd love to hear what you guys use. If there's a big thread somewhere that I didn't see, please tell me.

I'm so worried about impaction. So far I have hydroballs, with the screen on top, waiting for what's next. I do not plan on live plants in the near future.

Thanks!

By the way, I realize I'm stepping into a controversial topic. I'd really like to intelligently weigh the options. My breeder recommended staying away from stringy material like the commonly available moss (boxed stuff) and long coco fibers. He said he lost a gecko who snagged a coco fiber along with a cricket.

We use or own mixture of ABG substrate in our display/breeding enclosures, and shell grit for birdcages , or paper towel in our grow out enclosures. Works fine.
