    Re: What type of substrate do you use?

    I used Astroturf for a long time, having 2 sheets (or more) is definitely the way to go. That way you can take your time and thoroughly clean the soiled one without leaving your tank torn apart. Just switch 'em out, it's a good idea!

    4 paws bark, much like reptibark but heat treated to cut down the chance of little critters.
    I am thinking of switching to aspen, it's just so bright! My guy is use to the dark of everything in his cage.
