I use eco-earth mixed with reptile sand
The eco-earth is really cheap. It might look small when compressed but becomes a lot bigger when soaked in water-I usaully soak it in saltwater that has been de-chlored

Namiba Terra Terrariumhumus is derived from 100% natural resources. The substrate is
noted for its high water absorption and hence is suitable for reptiles requiring higher levels of
humidity. It is heat sterilised and free from fungus and germs. No fertiliser is added, it is free
of peat and has a pH range between 5.0 and 6.0.
Due to its excellent attributes it guarantees a perfect water storage. This humus is special
suitable for birdspiders, chamaeleons, daygeckos, all kind of anolis, swamp turtles and frogs.

Sounds good to use, and essentially the same stuff sold in the USA as "Eco-earth" and such.
