What type of substrate do you use?

I think it's called excavator clay? Zoo-med makes it I believe....it's supposed to be used for making tunnels...like you pour it over a balloon, then it dries, you pop the balloon and it makes a neat little space.

The only problem with that stuff is when it dries, it gets flakey. If reptiles ingest the flaked up crumbley stuff, its really easy to get an impaction. Its a neat product, but just keep a close eye on it.

Did your roomie keep one of the babies?

how does the re-cycled rubber look and work mate

I think I have a pic of it in my personal Gallery. I'll check, and if not I'll post a pic for you.

In the wet, hmm I'll stay on topic, water goes straight through it, so a layer of newspaper or kitty litter definately helps with cleaning.

Another bonus to it is that to clean you can just hose the crap off. It does take a while to dry, but the left over water evaporates under the basking light which ups the humidity a tad, and the rest drains on to the paper or kitty litter. I have Black stuff at the moment, looks VERY neat! Polishes up their undercarriage too.



EDIT - I just checked and there is no pic in my gallery, so I'll go take one now and post it up here for you to see.

Ok here's a cpl of pics of the rubber. It's not in it's total glory,as I'm kinda in a transitional stage, and They could be cleaner. But once I have my setups all sorted - I'll take more and post them.
