Thanks I will consider that ?

Thats good to know. And why the comment about listening to these people? I've replied and noted everyone's opinions from this thread and greatly appreciate any info.

So yours live in a shed all winter? How is that better than a large room in my house? Being blunt and a bottom line kinda person is wonderful if you you can do it kindly. "Coddle ", "babying" "abusing" is rude. Take it somewhere else. I simply asked what other use. I don't have to compete with...

No I don't. I just ordered the big bags from Petco. It isn't dusty when I get it but after they trample it, lol, it turns to dust. I'll take a pic if I order it again.

Great. Thanks.

I havent, I've looked at it but wasn't sure if it would be better. I will look into this Thanks for your input.

Ok its too bad to hear all those substrates are still dusty but I guess that's just the way it is. I will have to wet it daily and make it deeper. I have a room heater, a Sunblaster grow light and 2 heat lights and a thermostat at the lower level so temp stays fine. Thanks for your help.

Great ideas, thank you.

Yea a thicker layer would probably help. The flooring is water proof so its great for not absorbing moisture or urine. When I pour water on their substrate and stir it around I have tons of dust so I'm looking for material to use that is less dusty than retibark. Thanks ?

And this is why people don't ask for help when they need it.. I am a Veterinary Technician, I did my research and they have plenty of room in my house for the winter. They live 100% outside when appropriate. No, they can't be kept outside when its zero degrees. Bedding/substrate, same thing. I...

GREAT IDEA! Thank you!

Then what would I use to heat this large area? It is an area about 200 square ft and 4 ft tall. Lights are hung about 2ft off floor and I have Elephant Bark flooring that also absorbs heat and warms from beneath slightly. Also misting isn't an option for this much bedding. I pour water from...

I have 2 sulcatas about 30 pounds and 20 pounds. I live in Missouri so they winter indoors in a room downstairs. I am looking for the best bedding that holds humidity and is dust free. I've been using reptibark but it has tons of dust, it dries out quickly bc of heat lights, and gives me...

Once a week I use a watering can and pour warm water all over it then slowly mix it (bc it is dusty when dry) so all is soaked. I have to mix it up every couple days in between to make sure the top layers stay moist. It helps keep the humidity up and my torts love digging after I mess up their...
