Hello all, I just bought a large bag of fully organic, no chemicals added, nothing at all soil. In large letters on the front it said no chemicals or fertilizers, so I assumed it was all right. Unfortunately when I opened the bag the soil was mixed in with pumice. For those of you who don't know, pumice is very porous and fragile volcanic rock. They're the size of small pieces of aquarium gravel, does anyone know if this would be okay for the monitor? He is tunneling a lot, but would he eat it or something and choke? What are your thoughts? Thanks for the help.

sounds like perlite.
Don't buy any dirt that comes in a bag, waste of time and money.Any suitable monitor enclosure will require more than a few bags of dirt.
Take your truck to the landscape material yard and find suitable dirt/sand. Every state is different but they sell fill dirt and sand everywhere.When it comes to substrate, if it comes in a bag, or has a picture of a reptile on it, don't buy it!

Ok, thanks. And the reason it's just one bag is because he's just a young 'un.
