Laying substrate

Started a thread a while back about providing a suibstrate for gravid females to lay on when the time comes. Some people advised me to use sphagnum moss. This seemed a good choice other then it's acidic nature. Is this ok to use? or should I just provide some damp vermiculite like that, that will be used in the incubator.

Just a little confused.

Also she is looking quite swollen in the back 2/3... But she hasnt gone belly up or had her prelay yet. At what stage do these two things happen? and also do all gravid females go belly up at some stage?

Thanks for any help in advance...

Alex
