Holding a burrow does not necessarily make a substrate good. Most soils WILL hold a burrow. Considering this is clay based (or so the company says), I don't think it would be very good for burrowing reptiles at all. I've tried a natural clay substrate that I dug up here in Arkansas, and it worked terribly for my ackies. With the required moisture to hold a burrow, it was too compact and "sticky" (difficult to describe the feeling of moist clay). When it was loose enough to dig into, it didn't hold a burrow at all. And from what I have read at some of the uro threads pertaining to this, this stuff holds the burrows at first, but eventually dries like concrete.



And, as mentioned, it is going to cost you a fortune to buy enough of that for a monitor set up. Even for ackies I don't think it would be worth a try.





Cheers,

Ryan
