Hey guys I have an argentine tegu, and my question is I bought organic soil it says completely natural and organic, can I use it with some orchid bark? Is it safe? Thanks!

Ive used a blend of that with the Miracle-Gro Mulch blend for my Monitors, not sure if youve seen it, Its basically all Natural mulch already blended with a soil, I used more soil (the one you have pictured) as a bottom layer of bedding, with the mixture up top, I think it was actually perfect, specially if you use alot of it.

** but heres the problem I ran into:
1). It is really really hard to keep clean, any type of wet poop or urates are almost non noticable.
2). because of the above ^^^^ I was getting small gnat like bugs.
3). depending on your enclosure (untreated wood) youll get moss.

If you try it, just keep an eye on those things I mentioned.
