We have a sulcata, Bolt, which has been in an aquarium but now needs more space and we’re wanting to put him outside. We live in the very dry, hot environment on the outskirts of the Mojave Desert. Our yard is turf and decomposed granite. I’m struggling to figure out what to use for the base/beeding/substrate for the enclosure. We’ve always used coco coir but what’s best for a large outdoor enclosure? I’ve read coco coir, cypress mulch and natural dirt are all good but can they be mixed? Is it ok to layer these on top of the decomposed granite or should I put something on top of the DG before adding the bedding?
