I use about 3" and a mix of natural sand/dirt from the sonoran desert area(its very high in clay deposits) and coco fiber mixed in, using sterlized play sand mixed with vermiculite and coco fiber has been widely accepted by my centipedes as well. I add about .5-1.5" of moss and leave litter/plant debris on top of the substrate on 2/3rds of the surface. I leave the 1/3rd open to keep a small water dish there. They have water available at all times in said dish. 1-2oz deli cup works well in even smaller enclosures. Cuts back on possiblity of over hydrating them or causing mold in the debri layer
