I've seen a bit of discussion about this, generally suggesting using some kind heating; I'm not sure tho, I've done allot soil sampling (looking for ant habitats) and the soil within 3-4inches of the surface can be 20-30C lower than the ambient air tempreture, and 40-50C+ lower than the surface tempreture in in open land and blazing mid-day african sunshine
is there any data on this for monitor burrows? I dont want to add additional heatin which will reduce the amount of moisture avilable over time, my room is kept at a stead 21C, his cool area, where the digging substrate is, is 24C, i havent tempreture probed the substrate yet (its broke
) but wondered what your thoughts on this are
also, as grass is such an excellent plant for creating root systems to hold soil together, can someone recomend me a savanna grassland type grass I can grow usin seed in his burrowing area? doesnt matter if he makes a mess of it, I just want to provide a good burrowin substrate, this isnt about aesthetics
please excuse my spelling, i'm dislexic, i always correct when i can
Soil/Substrate Tempretures
