Are you gonna give him a big conteinar to soak? If yes that with the dirt will be "nice"

 

[zfoster22]

yea i am he'll be in 125 in a week with a 2'x18" water dish if i can find one that size keep him in there till about 20"-24"

I got miracle grow organic choice all natural garden soil, will this be ok?

 

[BSMM]

just get dirt from outside where no pesticides where used, its free and i wouldn't use miracle grow its going to have alot of fertilizers in it. Then just buy 1 or 2 bags of sand at lowes/home depot to mix with and while your their pick up some 45 outdoor flood bulbs
Make sure the 125 gallon tank has a solid top and you should start building its final cage ASAP. He will be 3ft in no time then by the end of the year hes going to be huge.

good luck

no its all natural but theres a huge dirt pile by my home and its pesticide free im 100% sure it is. its solid top and ill put foil around two of them



the dirt just a little wet still holds tunels real well though.
