I have a 10 month old Sulcata. Thanks to the great advise of this forum over the last 6 months I have moved him from a 10 gallon aquarium to a homemade tort table 3'X4', and have changed his substrate from bark ( which the pet store told me to use) to coco coir (which I love and is easy to clean). Once a week I flip the soil and rehydrate the coco coir.
My question is how wet should I keep the substrate. It starts out wet but by Saturday the coconut is pretty dry, should I keep it wetter or do it more often? I am afraid that if its too wet that even with his table being 80-100 deg he will get wet and cold especially at night when the temp drops to 70-80?
If someone has a little insite to proper substrate care I would appriciate the help. Thank you!
