I will be getting Amaru's final adult-size enclosure soon and trying to decide on substrate. My vet highly suggested simply using some type of astroturf. I currently use a mulch/eco-earth/peat mixture, which is fine except the top layer gets dry and dusty to the point that Ami is always super dirty and I wind up with dust all over my shirt when I pick him up and it tends to accumulate along his mouth, too.
What are thoughts on using some type of astrotruf like reptile carpet? I could throw in some blankets or something for him to burrow into like he enjoys doing when he is outside of his enclosure. I would have to rotate and clean them quite often I'm sure with the humidity.
And if not the above idea then what would you suggest to avoid the dust issue?
