Brumation cave

[Mrjaws]

Hi people.
I just made a bigger cave for Mrjaws , getting ready for his first Brumation. I used coconut fiber to surround the cave just for decoration and it was cheaper than reptile carpet. I am not using it for the substrate. Should I rip it off and start all over :roll: thank you

As long as he isn't pooping on it or licking at it, then it shouldn't pose a problem. Take it out if he shows interest in eating it or if it gets dirty though.

Thank you for your response. I was concerned about him eating it. I didn't work quick enough though because he has been sleeping for more than 72 hours now and I was not able to finish his cave. He has burrowed under shredded paper so I'm just going to let him alone. I do plan on bathing him Sat. to keep him hydrated. I just got him a new supply of crickets and worms, so I have to take care of them also. His basking spot is 104 and UVB is rated moderate.
