I am looking for suggestions on how to protect my wood enclosure from damage. I have layered the bottom with a thin tarp and then covered the tarp with coco coir substrate.. I placed rocks around the edges to keep it down. It seems that my Russian's favorite pasttime is to push the rocks to the middle and dig the tarp up and hide under it. Sometimes I see a moving bump in the substrate, and there he is, walking under the tarp! He loves to sleep there and play hide and seek with me. It's cute, but the problem is that he tends to go to the bathroom on the wood and if I don't catch it right away, it soaks in. I've always been able to clean it up well so far. Any suggestions?
By the way, he has a 4'x8' enclosure with 2 ends that are dark and 2 hides that would be perfect for sleeping. He is active and climbs all over during the day, up and over his logs, over his teracotta flower pot, and of course, under the tarp. I bring him outdoors when it's warm and supervise him indoors where he walks in circles on his blanket. His diet is mainly romaine, endive, radiccio with minerall once a week. He'll get a treat once a week of either a piece or two of broccoli or butternut squash. Saturn is quite a character!
