    Bioactive Substrate

    How does my substrate look?? I used two bags for organic potting soil. Half bag of reptibark, 1 8qt bag of spag moss, a very generous part of sand. I’m thinking about getting another bag of soil and adding it. What do you guys think?

    Does looking cause stress?

    I just got my cham yesterday. He’s exploring and have a good time but my family always wants to come in and see him. He has pretty food foliage IMO. They just don’t believe that animals can get stressed. Can anyone answer this?
