So I just discovered the excavator substrate by zoo med. I wondered if it is safe for dragons? I like my viv to look as natural as possible, and I'm gonna build a new one this summer for him, wanted a more natural look substrate. Any advice?
It seems like it would take a long time to dry enough to be ok humidity-wise for a dragon. And I would worry about it getting crumbly. :/ Also, since it's not sealed, I bet it's a PITA to clean poop off off! I think it's a cool idea, but it just doesn't seem like it's a healthy idea long term.
If you want something natural looking, use rock or tile. I like a natural look as well, here is what my flooring looked like while I was working on it:
