"SUBSTRAT TERMURAH TAPI TETAP AMAN!" Reptil Herbivora setting Kandang

For a simple container for herbivorous reptiles like young iguanas, uromastyx, or tortoises, the combination you mentioned is quite good: ✅ Rice husks → lightweight, inexpensive, helps maintain dryness. ✅ Dry soil without fertilizer → creates a natural feel and helps reptiles burrow. ✅ Dried grass/straw → provides hiding places and adds texture. ✅ Pine bark → improves drainage, reduces substrate compaction, and looks more natural. My recommended composition: 40% dry soil 30% pine bark 20% rice husks 10% dried grass/straw on top Advantages: Inexpensive and readily available. Doesn't get muddy easily. Comfortable for herbivorous reptiles. Easy to spot clean daily. Important: Avoid soil containing chemical fertilizers or pesticides. The pine bark should be clean and free of mold. Replace any areas contaminated with feces or leftover food daily. If using a closed plastic container, provide adequate ventilation on the sides and lid.
