A couple years ago a young tenant left a box of reptile supplies in my father-in-law’s garage when she moved out of the triplex he owns.

He wanted to know if we could use any of it.

I stood there shaking my head as he held out a bag of crushed walnut shells with a picture of a beardie on the front.

“Do you know what the boys in our neighborhood used walnut shells for when we lived in Arkansas?” I asked.

“No idea,” he replied.

OK for him. But it's something every reptile owner should know. (Find out here if you're wondering!)

Seriously.

The "Great Reptile Substrate Debate". It's worth a read. Check it out.
