Two thirds of the viv 3" of sand with hide and basking spot. One third with self adhesive tiles on the floor with a large piece of oak bark and a cool hide. My theory is that in the side with bark I could put the dubia roach, mealworms or morio worms loose. The two side would be seperated by a 3 1/2" high piece of conti board from front to back so the sand would not go into the side where the food is and the roach and worms would be unable to get over it.
Thought this may help my berber skinks to feed as they seem very reluctant to use a dish to feed from, they are always searching in the sand.
Opinions on this idea please.
Or what about using the xxl beech chippings? Could this be used then put the bugs in it loose shorley the pieces would be too large to be swallowed but the lizards would still be able to forage in it naturally.

| I thought that lizards did eat sand anyway to help with digestion and also for the minerals etc. |

| Maybe its that some eat the sand some spit it out, some shouldn't be kept on it. I'm doing a bit of research at the moment, I want a lizard and have seen a giant day gecko (it wasn't giant now though its tiny) and fell in love a little bit. |

These 2 berber skinks are very amusing but I have to say that they are a challenge, snakes are SO much easier it would seem. I wouldn't part with these two though. |
