I've switched substrates 3 times in my indoor leopard tortoise enclosure. I've tried coir, cypress mulch, and a mulch/soil mix. All create dust in the long run, and I'm seemingly in a perpetual state of cleaning surfaces in my reptile room. This is nasty and probably unhealthy.
Does anyone have a good idea to prevent dust accumulation? Is my only recourse closing the enclosure? I spray it down with water every morning, but it's deep enough that the tortoise stirs up dust whenever he walks around. I'm open to whatever. I feel like less a tortoise keeper and more a housekeeper.
