The sand in your barn is really nice looking. White and look very soft. Do the aldabra tend to poo inside as well? I think it's more simple care with sand as the substrate there.

What is the minimum size for the aldabra you feel is safe to use sand as substrate?

* They do, and it is really no different than picking it up in just regular dirt.

But i think sand as part of substrate should only be used in big outdoor enclosure and not really suitable for indoor setup !!

No matter the size of tortoise some or much sand can get ingested and cause trouble !!
