My enclosure is full of that at the mo called coco coir but I think it's irritating Clyde as wen he digs into it he sneezes and his eyes go a little puffy so I'm wanting to remove it iv got orchid bark already in parts of his enclosure but he don't seem happy wen diggin into it :-(
Hi Laura all good with me thanks.
Coir dries out quickly so have you tried stirring in a bit more water with it to see if that dampens the fine particles down? As long as it's not soggy wet and your temps are right he should be Ok. You may have already tried that but it's all I can think of trying or what about some sphagnum moss on the surface in one area? Some torts like that but you have to keep an eye on them in case they like to eat it too much. The Range sells it for about £7 a bag

Good morning all. Daughter has gone off to start her new second job.

She is working for an environmental consultancy that's moving native reptiles ahead of a big building project. The hours fit round her time at the filling station :)

We have 6 species of reptile native to the UK: 3 snakes (smooth snake, grass snake and adder) and 3 lizards (slow worm, common lizard and sand lizard)

I shall be taking my recently widowed next door neighbour to the hospital for a scan later this morning. She doesn't drive and her daughter's baby is due in the next few days. She's really quite frightened - it's so sad :(

Good afternoon all.

Daughter is home plastered in mud as the weather has been awful but she had a great day at the new job.

Neighbour's scan passed off OK; she has to wait for the results. I took her for a coffee and then to the supermarket afterwards.

I have booked a physio appointment for Friday. My back is seized again :(
