I haven't been in the for over 14 years give or take. I've been look over "current care sheets" what year did having a monitor lizard living in an enclosure with a two foot deep soil substrate become the best thing??

I can remember back in the day it was aspen or cypress bedding or even news paper was reccomended.

Its just interesting to see this change so much from so of the web posts I've read Its amazing to see the changes of husbandry and the ideology of hobbyists today.
