Substrate

What is the best Substrate for a Yello Wckie?? I use 2 Zoo Med Eco Earth compressed. And it looks cool but it doesn't hold a burrow when he digs. Can any1 help me.

There is no real 100% surefire substrate that will work in all cases. It is easier to know what properties you want the substrate to have, and then look for things that have those qualities. You want it to be able to reatin moisture without getting soggy, you want it to be able to hold a burrow and yu want it to be something the monitor understands and can use as substrate to dig in. It can have all the right qualities but if the monitors dont recognize it as something they can use they wont use it. Also you dont want the substrate to lose moisture too fast. If after being moistened you notice heavy condensation in the cage it means the substrate is not holding in the moisture. You will have to experiment with what is available to you and mix and match to find the right substrate that works for you.
