hi guys,

u would like to know what substrate for a bosc would be the best.

And also would a young bosc be ok in a tank that will is big enough for a adult? or will it have to start in a smaller tank and then moved to a larger one when ready?

thanks

50% Topsoil, 30% play sand and 20% leaf litter, mix it all together and make it as deep as possible, keep it slightly damp so i can hold a burrow.

Housing a small lizard in a big tank will make it harder to monitor the lizard’s progress. Partition half of the viv off with some kind of divider (plywood, Perspex etc) and increase space as the lizard grows.
