Kritters crumble fine looks really good. It's pretty cheap and it's easy.

 

[ilovemycoastal]

i was thinking kritters crumble, but have no idea where to get it, i live south east of melbourne if anyone knows somewhere?

 

[abnrmal91]

If you can't find it locally, someone sells it on eBay look up "ARK-700 Reptile Frog Enclosure Bedding Substrate 3kg" they sell it pretty cheap but postage is about $7. I got some from them it's really good.

don't forget to post some photos!

enjoy setting up the enclosure =)

 

[ilovemycoastal]

ill be taking some photos for sure
ok now my next question about kritters crumble, how much will i need to cover the floor which is 4ftx2ft?

 

[abnrmal91]

You can cover a 4ft x 2ft to about 1cm thick with half a bag. You can put it thicker if you want.

The one bag of knitters crumble would be plenty. I used it for my 3ft bearded tank and would find I'd have nearly half a bag left.

 

[ilovemycoastal]

oh sweet, thankyou! im gonna order one now haha

should i get the 'fine' or the 'course' one? which is better for the snake?

 

[Beloved_Reptiles]

I've always bought the fine whether it's for my snakes or lizards.

uhhhh now i have to find a trailer! kinda frustrating haha

 

[abnrmal91]

The joy of reptiles. Hope you didn't drive to far

 

[ilovemycoastal]

[AshMan]
