So I just finished removing all 180lbs of sand from their enclosure and adding cypress mulch w/ spaghnum peat moss...The one question I have is if the top portion of the enclosure is sufficient for a humid house? I made a swinging roof and added the front walls with the opening.
@hlester22: Do you layer the mulch and peat moss or are they both just mixed together in your enclosure? Do you know the size of your enclosure and roughly how many bags of each it took? Mine enclosure is 4'1w x 4'1l x 12"h so I'm trying to get an idea of how much to buy
I'm doing research for new substrate and here is what I found. I'm sure the Zoo Med product is better, however; will the cypress mulch from the "Lowe's" link work the same as the Zoo Med cypress mulch or are the two different? They look quite similar to me but I'm still new to this...
Lowe's...
@Emysemys: Thank you very much for the positive feedback regarding the enclosure and the advice about the substrate. I am looking for alternative solutions right now so I can get this deficiency fixed. Also, I am in New York and you can call me Steven.
@Arizona Sulcata: Thank you very much...
First off, I am new to the whole tortoise world and website. My girlfriend owns two African Spur Sulcatas and I have pretty much adopted them since we moved in together a few months ago :-) Below is a picture of the enclosure I just finished building a week or two ago and I will list what you...
