    Re: Introducing Bonnie and Clyde!

    Awesome. Not sure how you feed them but I would be very careful of that substrate. Gravel/sand/stones can cause blockages and neonates are most susceptible to this. This type of substrate also doesn't absorb waste and smells. This makes feces easy to spread all over the enclosure which can cause scale infections among other things.
    Just my opinion.

    look's like he is using corn cob litter which is absorbent, but still don't need to be ingested.

    it is a corncob substrate used for birds. Has 0 dust or chemicals thats why I chose it. It absorbed a lot of moisture and clumps really well. I feed outside of the enclosure atm as well
