Pros and cons of different substrates?

I do have most of the top covered with aluminum foil, that's one reason I think the heat lamp is contributing to the problem, it is just baking the moisture out slowly. I can get bedding at the pet store or online so finding it won't be a problem either way. If I find a good deal at the show though it would be nice to stock up, but I just didn't want to get a bunch of something unless I was confident that it would work well. So is the coco husk and eco earth the same thing? It's there any difference in brands? =)

Brands I don't know. I've never cared about which brands. Two different products though. Eco earth is the fine substrate. Essentially dirt. Coco husk is coconut shell chunks I believe.

Ok perfect, thank you so much for the advice.

I feel much more prepared now. I think I know what I am going to be looking for.
