If my personal opinion counts for anything, I think bed-a-beast is bad, as
well as any similar products. I have seen a bed of sphagnum moss being sold
which might work well for a high-humidity setup.
I'm certainly no expert and I have no experience with geckos oth4r than
leopard geckos, but de Vosjoli (sorry I keep on quoting him) recommends in
his book, "The Leopard Gecko Manual", fine sand or newsprint or a
naturalistic terrarium. Nothing in between. He specifically disrecommended
bed-a-beast and other similar products. He recommends a big tank for a
naturalistic vivarium. For high-humidity set-ups, I could definitely see a
potting soil substrate with some plants that can tolerate the temperature
range. Seems like geckos like wide-leaved plants. I guess low-light plants
are a must. Anyways, I guess I think individuals must do the research for
their geckos. If I'm totally wrong, just tell me - it's very possible.
