Vinagaroon substrate?

[Sillver]

So I'm getting my Vinagaroon an enclosure thats a bigger than what its currently in and I was wondering if substrate made with Humus, Peat Moss, Sand and some perlite was safe for her? Basically its a potting soil mix i can and will probably be adding exo earth to it.

Biggest thing is ensuring there are no other additives like fertilizer or pesticides that could potentially harm your animal. If it’s a simply substrate with just those ingredients you’re fine.

I’d maybe recommend testing how well it holds burrows before you commit however, as burrowing is really important for a happy vinegaroon. You can always add something like clay to help it keep its shape a little better if you find its not holding well.

Use topsoil, cheaper and effective. As Sarkhan42 told you, check that there is no chemicals added to the substrate.

Coco fiber/peat moss/reptisoil(my personal favorite) mixed in with some sand. Keep moist, especially during colder months, so they can create a burrow
