mixed up a new substrate to use in my nesting boxes, it seems to hold the tunneling really well. Almost every box had at least one burrow in it!

1 part playsand to 3 parts moss peat (approx).

Anyone else have any good mixes that work well?

Nice one, have you still got many eggs being laid or has it started to slow down? Cool

reckon I might have a couple more ackies due to lay, perhaps a few more yemen, wouldn't suprise me if I get some more bearded eggs too.

I used to use half an half sand and coco fibre but have since found zoomend reptisand to be much better for me anyway would love to get some from germany there is some in MS reptilian that claims to be similar to the zoomed reptisand but its in germany which i never go to and is quite heavy so sending it is not an option and it being bulky not the sort of thing I can ask somone to bring back for me I think
