Hi All,
I've googled this one for a while now and can't find an answer.
I just emptied and moved my 4'x6' tortoise table to it's own room and realize how easy it is to maintain the cleanliness of the main area without substrate. It's heated hide is 2'x2' and has a few inches of very easy to keep moist coco coir. No problems with humidity or temperature levels.
The rest of the table has a heat lamp by the water source and a UV bulb for basking. Is there a reason or benefit to having substrate in the rest of the table?
It's so much easier to vacuum extra food up and just wipe things down. Also there's no more coco coir being dragged into the water dish daily.
