Question:

rose hair tarantula habitat help?

When I purchased the hairy little fellow he? was living in a glass aquarium with only a shallow dish of water, and shallow layer of dry rabbit pellets for bedding. I brought him home about a week and a half ago. I kept him on the same bedding until today. After research I mixed 50 / 50 horticultural vermiculite and potting soil. He is now literally climbing the walls and seems to really dislike the new bedding. What have I missed? I'm afraid that he will fall off glass walls and get hurt if he continues to keep climbing like this (he never once did this before today's change of bedding) and he rejected it immediately after being put back into tank.Any insights are appreciated!

Answer:

Most breeders, myself included, use vermiculite. Others prefer perlite. Both are available at most garden centers. I don't recommend incubating your eggs in soil or sand.
My beardies too young to lay eggs but i think the best would be the crested gecko dirt from pet stores Is your beardie expecting if so congrats from my bearded dragon haha! :D Good luck
