Reptile & Amphibian Forums

i was wondering who here use's news paper and do the monitors mind or not,im thinkig of useing it for one of mine...thank you

The only thing newspaper will benefit is you. It has nothing to offer to your monitor.

Substrates commonly used are mulch, dirt, sand, sphagnum moss, leaf litter.

You can use those or a combination of them, it all depends on what your looking to get out of the substrate.

But again I'd leave the newspaper for the snakes, birds, or some other litter pan.

i didnt want to use newspaper i was just asking who did and why,i use ground cocanut husk sorry if it sounded like i wanted it

I use that with my geckos they love it.

Nice looking bosc.

thank you and by the way my name is jody to thats cool

or mouse haha

I dunno if being named Jody is a good thing or not.

Hopefull you dont also have as much animals as I do. that'd be just scarey

yea i to have a zoo at my house ive been into reptiles for over 20 years what kind of herps do you got if it is okay for me to ask if not its cool,i try to respect people's privacy

to many to list specifics on, but I keep monitors, boas, pythons, colubrids, skinks, chameleons, uromastyx, iguanas, and turtles.

I also have other animals, I used to work at a zoo.

I use newspaper for when I had new monitors and was checking stools and quarantining. I also use it when I have had to change out the dirt (getting stinky too soon) and it is hard to find more under all the SNOW! (not that I have cabin fever or anything!)

As has been said.....otherwise it does nothing for the monitor.
