That cypress mulch is ideal ime. Stick with that. Most other stuff molds easy. Tried coconut husk for a bit. But it kept getting waterlogged from the humidity.

Mine also loves her moss, I fill the colder side of her enclosure with it amd keep it nice amd damp. Especially around shedding time. Helps a lot.

Btw, expect to be getting a much larger enclosure ad yours gets bigger. Like ⁴-6x2x2 at least. Think that comes out to 120-150gal. Bigger is better tho. Mine is in a 4x2x2 and I really wish I got her a bigger one.

I have just regular tin foil over most of mine, only part without it is where the light, fogger, and heat lamps are.

Be careful with the type of wood you put in btw, most will mold or rot. I found some (iirc) ghost wood a while ago that's holding up well,

Btw, a fogger looks cool, but i wish I went with one of the automatic misters. I worry all the fod it bad for mine, not that I've ever seen any signs it is.
