You guys are awesome. Thank you so much for all of the help!
I'll reconsider the bioactive substrate as well. I don't mind pill bugs and worms. There had been mention of centipedes in wherever it was that I first heard about bioactive soil and I noped the heck right out of there.
I'll looking into flood lamps for my sav, too. As soon as he makes it to the one month mark, I'll build his adult cage. I know that people insist he won't get lost but how will I ever find him in something so large? It'll be 8 x 4, remember. O_o
You will find him because a healthy Sav is an active animal that will be constantly digging, moving back and forth. They wont just go in a hole and sit.
