Hey all--
I'm looking to set up a nearly fully living vivarium and I am in need of some substrate advice. I'm looking at getting some S. intermedia, or some S. lacertina. I have a everything figured out (tank, plants, filtration, etc.) but I am stuck on what substrate to use. I want something as natural as possible and I am willing to experiment. I don't want to use only sand or only rocks as these animals like to burrow in the substrate in the wild. Any advice is appreciated. Let me know what you think...
Thanks in advance
