I have a mix. I think it was 6 bags of soil, 2 bags of sand, 1 bag of peat moss, and 1/2 a bag of bark chips. All natural with no pesticides/fertilizers of course. This is home to a whole host of critters now, and at one point was growing grass (I seeded it, but tegu moved in and killed...

I'm a new tegu owner in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and I figured I should stop in and learn more about my newest charge. I have had reptiles for about a decade now - mostly blue tongue skinks...
