@wellington Ok thank you. As far as substrate goes what do you think? How much mulch should i add as a top layer
?
?
This one is not a baby, it's a subadult.From Hermanni Haven: "The substrate can be up to 4” deep to allow for burrowing. Burrowing is 100% normal! Do not be alarmed by his behavior while they are this young. They are babies after all and babies sleep. I also recommend adding cypress mulch as a 2” top layer but you can also mix it in to the existing substrate. The mulch aids in keeping an adequate humidity level which should be around 70%."
Even with the bark over it, they'll still find a way to make a mess, especially in the water. But the bark does help minimize it, especially when it comes to getting the soil stuck up in their sensitive bits
