Hi,

New here on the forums. Just recently got 3 sulcata torts. As of right now im using zoo med reptibark. I wanted to change it up to zoo med forest bedding cypress mulch. What else can i mix in the enclosurer? wanted to mix in some soil with it but dont know which one to get that would be safe for the torts.

Coconut coir or orchid bark is the best as they need a high humidity in a closed chamber enclosure and both those substrate holds humidity well.

Thanks for the reply. Which brand do you recommend to get? So you reommned the repti bark and coconut coit mixed together? Rather then the zoo med cypress mulch?
