Substrate success
Here's a pic of my smallest Ackie burrowing in the substrate (YAY) Finally it's working the way I need it to. First I got a suitable sand/gravel/clay mix and then with the bentonite spraying and water spraying the surface it hardened up.

Re: Substrate success
Glad to see it's working for you. Great pic. I find sand/clay mixes perfect for dry loving burrowing reptiles.

Re: Substrate success
Now that I know how to accomplish it. I plan to do it in my large enclosure. Of course I'll need 15 times the amount of substrate. I'll give more details when I set that up. I still need to run the underground lines for moisture. They need to be fastened down somehow. They keep getting pushed up to the top by the soil.
