 Help!!! Substrate for BTS’s

i need some ideas for a BTS substrate, i have a 55 gallon reptarium, uvb bulb, night bulb and 150W next to a 60W for lighting... i know skinks don’t need anything to climb but i do have a couple spots for basking main heat spot has a heat pad under the glass to keep the floor warmer.. so im just needing a few ideas on subtrates willing to test a couple ideas out.. plus if you think i should also get something else for the tank i’m open to any suggestions...

I use a substrate of a couple inches of play sand, with bark, leaf litter and loose moss over the top of that. My girls love to glide almost under the surface of that (:

Aspen bedding and carefresh are probably the easiest and cheapest.

How does Carefresh hold up when there’s humidity involved? I’ve only used it for dry-weather animals.
