I just changed pokeys bedding to dirt/ peat moss from aspen. but once again, he is flipping. he never did that with the aspen. he is in a 5' kiddie pool. the bedding is flat. what do I do? he can't flip back over by himself. do I go back to aspen until he gets older? please advise
I just don't like the smell. even as it just comes out of the bag. as far as the temps? is that even for the coolest part of the tank? I can always add more heat bulbs[hr]
just added another heat bulb. now just waiting to see how the temps get
round 1: (switched to aspen. pot soil smelled like horse poop to husband
