Hi,
I recently got a 5 month old baby Sulcata that I currently keep indoors due to colder weather in Toronto during winter. I am currently experimenting to make the perfect enclosure and have come accross some confusion (even after browsing the internet). There are two products (both manufactured by exo terra) that I found which can be used as a substrate: Plantation Soil, and Coco Husk. I am a little confused on the difference between these two products. The only difference I can tell is plantation soil seems more fine. But besides that they both are coco husk products, and both come as a brick, thus both should ideally absorb humidity.
I used plantation soil for the first week, next im gonna try a 50/50 coco husk and repti-bark substrate mix.
Any tips/info on the difference between the two? Or if using plantation is better than the 50/50 mix?
Thanks!
