(Potential) New skink owner! Advice please!

[CookieChaos88]

]Hello!
I've been wanting a BTS for a long time and I already did (mostly) all of my research. Im going to be keeping him/her in a 36x18x12 with all the essencials. Giving him a nice diet of different lettuces, cheese grated carrots, lean ground turkey, etc. I still need to clarify some things though...
1) Can i use shredded or chipped aspen bedding? If not, whats my best bet.
2) what can they NOT eat. I heard that you shouldnt feed them grapes and/or starwberries.
3) Where should i get my Bluey from? I live in Calgary, AB.

Sorry if these question are a little dumb... Anyway! All advice is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Here is what tells you what to feed, what not to feed, what to feed occasionally:

Shredded Aspen is awesome, but can sometimes cause a problem with the more "humidity appreciative" skinks such as the Merauke, Indonesian, Kei Island, ect., ect.

I'm not sure if you are willing to get a shipment or not, here is a fellow Canadian that recently had some bubs:
