Quick question!
Is laterite safe to use as a substrate for an adult leo?
I have the lateritic soil type that crumbles easily and doesn't have sharp or rough grains and not the other kinds of laterite. Mine doesn't harden or clump up when wet and doesn't stain the water red if submerged.
I was thinking since laterite layers are deep in the soil, leo burrows might as well be in contact with laterite.
I posted the same question on 14 other non-reptile animal forum but so far only the hermit crab forum had doubts about it.
