Thanks Bro!

I got scared this morning. I looked at her and it looked like she lost a toe. She didn't though, it was just behind a piece of bark on her log. God, if I ever let a monitor loose a toe, I think I would resign my monitor ownership LOL There will be NO missing toes or tail tips on my herps!

That was one COLD day Brother...my nipples are still hard!!!

I thought that missing toes was a thing of the past.
Plus with that great substrate you have you have nothing to worry about.
It is a great mix, my Jobiensis loved it!
GO BEARS!

Nope, we see it here on the forum all the time, usually on monitors in fish tank set-ups...screen top, light dome, snake type hide box, astroturf "substrate"....

And then they look at us all like we're crazy. They say "what, dirt for substrate? 130 degree basking spot? Yeah right. I think I'll just listen to the pros at the pet shop" and then you know where that leads.....
