Hi-
I am expecting a central american wood turte in the mail on thursday and I have read that dry leaves are a good part of their environment- but as I think about it i realize this could be a fire hazard- I have piled the substarte up 8 inches- should i take it down or just use moss? thanks,
Zach

use a few leaves not a ton. first put a layer of cypress mulch down, then some dead leaves and that should do fine. dont forget the water tub.
