I must say I think it's rather funny to generalize two countries as "moist". Peru has a lot of rainforest but it has other habitat types with various climates, and Argentina definitely can't be summed up as "moist".
Ditto that John. Most of the recent Cranwelli imports came in from the chaco region of paraguay which is a lot closer to a desert than a rainforest.


Deku,
I understand your trying to help but you are leading people in the wrong direction in a lot of areas and I also get the impression your making things up as you go along in sometimes in an attempt to sound knowledgeable. Saying for example in just this thread " So 2inches of substrate isnt enough for them; they should have at least 4inches of depth of dirt" is a prime example. You are telling people this based on what? Did you experience problems that were narrowed down to having only two inches of substrate while four made things better? No. It isn't helpful to say off the wall stuff like this and it adds to the confusion. People then repeat it and before you know it it becomes an established hobby myth because many people either make stuff up or repeat things without actually knowing if they are true or not. Now I don't want to be to hard on you because everyone starts somewhere and your making an effort but please try to be a little more careful and not just randomly make stuff up.
