Hi, Philip is starting to look better, or at least he is showing more personality !
I’ve been reading about the right substrate for a Greek, but we have a different set up .
Originally I bought a sand mix from the reptile centre... as recommended, but my instinct was not good for this.
I also got some small chips..... again, I’m not sure
Philip has no use of his back legs, so drags himself along with his front legs and tummy.
He was finding the chips difficult to move on, so we got some coir matting which give him more traction to get around.
So he currently has choir matting, which we change and wash every time to soils.... is this OK for a Greek? I kind of feel I need to do what is right for his disability, but I never spray or mist the coir.... should we?
I do keep one third as the chips, and he doesn’t dig, so I’m hoping he just isn’t a digger so is t worried about the coir.
I would be a lot easier if they talked to you !!
