    Re: Komodo tortoise eco terrain for skink substrate

    Shingleback. It needs dry anyway.

    If it works I may wet it and use for blue tongues (northerns, meraukes).

    I will give hides anyway so they don't need burrows. They just fill the doors with substrate while inside. I don't think full underground burrows are a good idea because would be impossible to take them out etc.

    I just want to make sure it is safe and doesn't have calcium sand or unsuitable soil in it. It just says sand soil mix. The company does make calcium sand but then again so does zoo med (vita sand) and a lot of their other stuff is good. Pro Rep (another company) also makes a sand soil mix but they DO add calcium sand, but it is stated on the package.

    Gosh, I never thought it would be so much trouble getting a bunch of dirt.

    Can't get playsand for a cheap. Apparently poor kids don't play in this country... They only have "sandtastik" brand, and they want 450 HKD (roughly 60 USD per 25 lb box).

    No one even knows what topsoil is. Everyone plants stuff with "potting mix" with everything in it already and labels in German. The only reason I know the peat moss has no chemicals in it is the people who keep carnivorous plants use that brand because fertilizers kill them.

    Can you just use straight peat moss?
