[QUOTE="MassExodus, post: 137055, member: 4086"] Yeah I keep second guessing the sand too, but after reading Dr Browns book (He's a reptile vet too) Im going to go with it. He keeps them very hot, and he says impaction is caused more by incorrect temps than substrate. He uses 100% sand. I also worry about the rock pile/basking spot that looks awesome(all I see is glare in the pic, lol). All of the rocks are big and heavy, and touching the bottom under the sand, and all are propped firmly against each other..but the burrowing scares me. I'll be watching closely to see where and how it burrows..also, my basking spot is now a steady 150º, which is uncomfortably hot to the touch, but I can still keep my hand on it. Perfect, according to the good Dr. I'm just going to go with it, tbh Im stressing myself out over these things :eek: [/QUOTE]
