Hi all, i have been playing around a bit lately with different enclosure setups, and have come up with a good answer to the eternal "what should i use as substrate" question..
These guys are tough hard wearing and look real, but the best bit is they dont absorb smells and if they do get soiled all you have to do is take them out side hose them off and put them back in again.... DEAD EASY
some pics for your enjoyment
take care
