fern with nile?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Its the same thing as a nile just bigger ... and youll need to provide a bigger basin for swimming. That 125 wont last long so I would suggest you get started on an enclosure quick.

With those enclosures you are going to build make sure that you water proof them from the inside so that you dont get mold and your wood does not rot. You get this accomplished by using FRP or Tile board as source of an anti dampening system on the wood. You place the FRP or Tile Board on top of the wood and then seal all the edges with some caulking, make sure the caulking is bio degradable so its harmless to the animals. This will help the wood last alot longer.

ok. all the miracle grow stuff i was looking at when i was looking for soil had some sort of chemical in it. hence why its Miracle grow. ive used just plain top soil mixed with sand and peat moss. its better for burrowing than regular soil.
