Can i use a river sand with clay mix for radiated tortoises? A friend of mine use it for his egyptians. I think its pretty and Natural. But dont have the experience with. Anybody?
I use a room humidifier (boneco U7142) and the humidity is 65-70. It's not realy sand i use. If i Translate i find gras/ soil.I would never use any sand as enclosure substrate. Not even as part of a mix. I've seen far too many sand impaction cases and that is an ugly surgery.
I dump water into my substrate to keep it damp. Spraying is ineffective for me here, especially with an open top. If I recall, your enclosure was very large and open on top, right? Is humidifying the whole room to slow the rate of evaporation an option?
Thanks for the informationYou can add a tiny drop or two of liquid dish soap to your water. It makes the water wetter.

The emulsion breaks down the surface tension.
