Heck no... That's a bio active enclosure. all sorts organisms, bugs and bacteria live in there, they break down the poop, enrich the soil and create nitrogen content for the dirt.

I just seeded a bunch of it with "high traffic" grass intended for walkways. Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't.

Their burrows are complex, I have not messed with them. The two of them will go under the basking platform and vanish. The hole is stashed away neatly under the ramp, so I don't disturb it.

I have been adding more soil, and I put a wide patch of established sod over the top of the main chamber, since the roots are all tightly woven together, it reinforces the top of the chamber, and as I water the grass, a lot of humidity is formed down there.

another observation, they don't poop in their water. They go in the moss, and I watched a fresh pile, in 3 days time even the urates are gone.
