Yes, this is my fault. I'm sorry. Bad labling is all.

But here is something else. First, the topsiol/sand stuff is going all over the ground. The nesting area, however, is seperate with the oak leaves on top. I want that area to be where the female lays her eggs. So, on the other part, is it all right to put some type of bark or something solid over the topsoil/sand mixture? This way, the dragons don't track the dirt in the water dishes, and stuff like that.

Do you think that would be okay? I noticed you have wood nuggets as one of your worst five mediums, I assume you are talking about commercial grade bark litter. Well, what would be a good alternative(think solid). Or is it just better to cover everything with leaves (a lot more work for me!).

Just so we are clear, here is exactly how I want to do it. Imagine a 2'x3' square. Put six inches of topsoil/sand down. Then on one half, cover in oak leaves. The other halve, something solid. This is want I am going for. I am open to constructive criticism only.

Thank you!
