Hey guys,
Just after some ideas for a new substrate for my Sand Monitor. He has been on Brickie's sand for the last 8 or so months, but I'd like to get some ideas on a new substrate that I can keep him on.
He loves burrowing, and the Brickie's sand is great in this respect, but I'm a bit worried about how much dust it gives off, and that it also stains his beautiful colours.
I was thinking a mix of clay soil and good quality dirt, but basically something that doesn't give off too much humidity, as high humidity really screws up his sheds, but that can still hold a strong burrow. Also any recommendations on where to buy the substrates, any particular brands you've had good experiences with etc.
Cheers.
