Cedar, pine, and many other types of wood from North America  are toxic to invertebrates. Also they hate the feel of it...can't be pleasant to walk on. Instead use topsoil free from fertilizer or coco fiber.Also if you have a heat lamp on her she will try to stay cool sitting on the water bowl...since she can't dig. (The red glow suggests you have one...not sure if you do.)</blockquote>
