Hi Marilyn, I would love to see a photo of your set up. I don't have Chubbys but for my Frogs I use Sphagnam Moss and a mix of real and fake plants and vines. I to thought it's best to give them a more natural enviroment. It does look good though but it does how ever get costly. Sphagnam moss is not cheap here. Every thing accept the Moss can be sterilzed. It is a big job when I do a full clean out.
