Today is cleaning day and I have to replace the substrate again. I am kind of getting tired of replacing paper towels and newspaper.

I am thinking of going back to dirt substrate like I had in my older tank. I have a couple of questions though.

Also the substrate in mind is ESU Reptiles Jungle Mix Lizard Litter.

Here are some facts from the bag:
"Jungle Mix provides a natural living environment for terrarium animals and plants. It is a unique blend of sterilized virgin organic soil, fine grain sand, vermiculite, peat moss, orchid bark and green tree moss. Jungle Mix is organic, natural and perfect for burrowing reptiles and plants. It promotes breeding, nesting and egg incubation. " (Copyed and pasted from Website)



Questions.

Bio-Active Dirt or Newspaper/Paper Towels
1.Whats easier (including replacing substrate and finding eggs)?
2.Looks



Here are some seperate questions on just the Dirt
1.Does this substrate tend to dry eggs out quickly
2.Can you even Bio-Activate it?
3. Does anyone else use it.
4. When a female crested gecko digs a hole to bury her eggs, can you notice if the ground/substrate/laying matter has been disrupted (for lack of better word).

Thanks for the Help and Happy New Year!
