Or excavator clay/sand for dry species like the rosea (Im a fan of clay, and this kind is designed to be easy to burrow in.) Also, certain types of wood are natural pesticides, fair warning. If you like the wood chips, theres a kind of substrate called jungle mix, its peat moss and fir wood chips(iirc), but not too much wood. I like it, it looks and smells like forest dirt.</p></blockquote><p></p>
