>>My Sulcata is about 2 months old or so.

>>

>>I was wondering about the substrate, He is on paper towels right now and is doing fine. I want to move him to a soil/sand mix and was wondering what was best.

>>

>>I have a few brick's of eco earth laying around from some of my other reptiles, would this work? Or would it be best to use some kind of top soil?

>>and about the sand, is the sand a must? if so, what's the mix ratio? 3/4's soild, and 1/4 sand?

>>

>>and also, i have repti calcium with D3 by Zoo med. I havent gave him any yet but would this be a good calcium supplement for a young Sulcata? (it looks to have a red footed tortoise on the front) http://www.zoomed.com/db/products/EntryDetail.php?SearchID=4&DatabaseID=2&EntryID=2

>>thank you all in advance.



Make sure you have a UVB light for D3. Just the repti calcium powder isn't enough. I use repti-glo 5.0 or 10.0 from Exo-Terra.
