Hi Tortoise family. I have 3 African leopards and I’m currently looking into a better substrate for them. Anyone know a perfect option for them?
Orchid or fir bark, not paper. No fruit should be fed and a better diet than just what's in the pics.
Up the humidity as there is already pyramiding.

Thank you. I just bought some bark yesterday. I’ve gotten them nutritional pellets for the diet, hay and grass. In the last few months I’ve tried to make more of an effort to stop the pyramiding once I researched that it’s not good at all.
Would you suggest I add a humidity hide for them?

The whole enclosure needs to be 80% humidity. Add the bark and find a way to close off the enclosure.

ive posted a picture of what the enclosure looks like now. What do you propose I add to make it perfect for them? One thing that might run the humidity low is that they’re in the lounge where the air con runs throughout the night, should I block off their enclosure with a canvas that’s big enough to cover it ?
 
Yes absolutely. Make it a closed chamber enclosure. Meaning all lights and heat are under a top that covers the whole enclosure.
Do a search for portable pop up greenhouse or portable covered raised garden beds.

I really do appreciate all your advice and insight. I don’t want them to pyramid anymore. Will try that out tonight. Thank you!
