[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 131428, member: 27677"] It does look very sandy in the pics, it looks like a fine sand too. After much experimentation I found that 1 part sand to 6 parts coco peat works well, even that is surprisingly sandy. I find that that ratio seems to give you the advantage of better drainage and a mix that holds it's shape better without irritating the animal. It's my go to mix that I use for a wide range of creatures, including frogs and lizards. It doesn't get that anaerobic compaction or "slump" that straight peat can get. [/QUOTE]
