Re: my monitors

A substrate that they can burrow in is a must, I use a mix of sand, shredded sphagnum moss, and a quality top soil.


Thats copied but its what I use. Also for topsoil I filter a good quality all natural potting mix to get everything but the soil out. Also if you use that watch out most of the potting soils have fertilizer in them whether it says so on the bag or not, so always double check that they dont.

Others may have other mixes they prefer.

Sorry I meant to mention that in your tegu post.
