Well since it is "DIRT" cheap LOL (Sorry, but that was too easy to make a joke out of)

It varies... depending on what time of year, how many clutches were laid and by how many different females.

Since I only have 3 laying females right now and they are all clean from parasites, etc. I would say that I will change this batch every 3 months. That would be approx 9 clutches per change.

Hope that kinda helps..... it is a hard question to answer because so many different things contribute to it.

Hey Cheryl,

We use a mix of potting soil (unfertalized cheap stuff), peat moss, and vermiculite. Holds the moisture pretty well so it doesn't cave in and is still pretty easy to dig in.

Thanks all for the help...thinking one of my 21 mo old females is pregnant....she is digging alot and looking a bit bigger
