So I rehoused my B. smithi to a new home yesterday. A large critter keeper. I changed the usual substrate (coco fiber) to a mixture of coco fiber and organic "terrarium soil" (from a company called terraristik bedarf dragon).
I changed the substrate because I noticed my T digging quite a bit in her older enclosure, but the pure coco fiber substrate wasn't good enough to create burrows, and I've seen that some T Youtubers use a mixture of coco fiber and soil in their enclosures. And of course, as luck has it, it started to grow mold in this new enclosure the very next day.
So my question is, is it dangerous? Some say it is while other say it's not. Do you have a better mixture of substrates for burrowing T's? Thanks in advance!
