I looking for the best I used hay bark and now on eco earth but it wont dry out :/ please whats the best substrate to use as I wanna breed soon
 
Sugar cane mulch. I use it in outdoor and indoor enclosures.
 
aspen is fine but a little exy,it's a soft timber product ideal for small snakes (childreni)etc.
so use it if you've got it ;if it's dry,it's good.
Don't buy your products at specialist "Reptile Shops",unfortunately they are only friends with your wallet,shop around you can do much better deals at various trade outlets
 
i use aspen for my blueys they love it easy to burrow in i think i paid $22.95 for standard bag size which i think is 8 quart is that right they are still in usa sizes in the shop i buy from so i think its about 4kg correct me if im wrong.....
 
They have their own site? I keep on buying from their ebay store :p But that stuff looks the way to go ;) I think your bluey will love it ;)
 

spot on cheap & cheerful... can be a bit dusty but at the price you can go through it & shake out excess dust before use....... and cheapness means you can clean them out regularly if $$ is a watchout. Good depth of substrate for Blueys makes the cage twice as big.... as all skinks love to swim in mulch/litter.
 
Cheers mate. I'll be buying direct now ;)
 
If none of that works for you, I usekitty litter, cheap as chips and they love borrowing into it, plus its easy to clean up after them aswell!

What type of kitty litter do you use reptile crazy? If its safe and works, I'll be keen to have a crack at that option for mine!
