Hi,
Since I got my russian, I have always used komodo or branded bark as his substrate and if im being honest the prices for it are getting ridiculous and also the bark pieces for some reason are getting bigger, So its taking a lot more to fill my viv up with and hes not liking it because he cant dig into it. I want to change it and wanted to see if anybody had any ideas. I cant use soil because it will rot the floor if the vivarium. Ive seen pellets, hemp bedding and ive just come across coconut chip substrate, which would be cost affective, or if anybody has any ideas of what I could use as a replacement, because its taking 3-4 bags of my current bark to fill at £12 a bag. If the bark chiping hadnt of gone so large I could use it. Any help would be great. I used to use hemp chippings, but was told to stop. Ive attached a couple of pictures of the new bedding ive found. Be brutally honest with me, because I dont want to go backwards after everything ive learnt.
