BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I have a question about substrate for a possible pregnant female.

I use Aspen for substrate and I am very happy with it but I have a female that may be pregnant and could give birth starting in the next few days.

I am a bit worried that if she has her babies in the aspen bedding when the babies eat the afterbirth they might ingest some of the bedding and would cause impaction in the babies.

What do some of you breeders use for substrate with your pregnant females?

Thanks,

John

I would recommend taking out the substrate and hides and putting her on paper towels but that is just what we do.

Artificial turf.

Great thank you I will change the substrate asap,

John
