no more sand

after finding sand suck under Lokis tummy scales last week i took the sand out and replaced it with tonnes of newspaper covered with paper towels and a face washer in his cave.

it looks so nice and clean i dont know y i didnt do it earlier.

now i cant wait till he poos so i can see how well it absorbs his mess.

i know but he seemed to be ok on it and it was easy to clean up poos, i guess now that hes bigger the grains fit under his scales whereas before they didnt,..

either way, the change has been made and its a good one.

leaf litter sounds good, and i have alot big chunks of bark i might throw in fro him...

sorry Herpsrule, cant do pics @ the moment, i need to get the net on @ home for that.
