So I originally bought Reptisoil and mixed it with the coco bricks .....the kind that you moisten to expand....
My mister ended up making it really mucky so I took all of it out.
I put in Repti Bark then decided after I put it in, I grabbed the wrong bag, because I wanted to use forest floor.....So I took out all the Repti Bark put that back in bag and put down the forest floor....I feel that is not good for burrowing so I added reptibark where he sleeps and burrows and some coco which is finer mixed in, that's what I originally had but this time forest floor is on the bottom.....Anyway I'm not sure weather the mucky mix, of Reptisoil and coco, the ReptiBark, or the Forest floor set my ASTHMA off....my throat, nose and lungs are definitely bothering me......
Any thoughts which one it was? Which substrate is best for asthma? Which substrate is best for him burrowing or combos that work together ect? He's only around 4 months old and i dont want him eating it or being uncomfortable walking, burrowing ect. I just want to keep him happy and him and myself not have breathing issues in the process.
Nothing was really dusty so that wasn't it. I'm not sure if it was spores in the mucky wet or the smell of the Reptibark or Forest floor. Any thoughts , advice, information will be greatly appreciated. I'm sure there is a expert on here that can understand my dilemma...
Thank you
