You don't actually need substrate on the bottom and it's been known to either be a breeding ground for bacteria if it always stays damp or can cause impactions if your cham accidentally (or purposely) ingests some while trying to get a cricket. Most people don't use anything at all in the bottom of their cages. Easy to clean that way!
