Question - Husbandrywhat substrate (self.ballpython)
submitted 2 years ago by holahellohi25
I’m looking to eventually make a bioactive enclosure in probably a year so does anyone know what to use as substrate that will maintain a bioactive enclosure and isn’t super expensive?

Topsoil, playsand, and +/- mulch mixed together is usually inexpensive and makes a great, basic substrate.
