Hi there, I have been using Organic top soil for the last year or so. No issues as of yet. The only problem i have found is that it can get very heavy inside a larger enclosure.

can you link the one you use

The stuff i'm currently using is Levingtons. I am based in South wales, UK. So i'm unsure if you would be able to get the exact one in Aus but i'm sure you can find something similar. Very cheap in comparison to the ready made stuff you can buy in the reptile shops. I will say though, The first bag i bought did contain tiny shards of Glass. The other 2 bags have been fine so far, But i have made sure to screen the entire bag first now. No issues since then and it seems to hold very well for burrows.

I use cocopeat but I mix it with clay from backyard. I do it because it allows me to do terrascape on their enclosure. Then I add very thin layer of cocopeat.
