laying bin

[chamzilla91]

I got a 12x12x14 container and some washed playsand and organic dirt. The dirt has some sticklike stuff in it, is it still okay to be put in the laying bin?

Please, really need info on this because I think my girl is producing eggs

I want to answer you but I don't know about the sticks! Why not just use washed play sand alone and then you don't have to worry about the sticks?. I know other people on here and that is what they use, just the sand. You have to make sure she can make a tunnel to lay the eggs. that is the important part and the depth has to be deep enough.

I'm always concerned if I got the right potting soil so I've been using washed playsand mixed with vermiculite. So far my girl has layed three clutches with no problem.

I would really call them sticks persay, kinda like dirt with a little bit mulchy consistency. I was going to mix a little bit of that with the sand

If it's not really "sticks" that are hard and pointy, then I suspect it will be okay. I know people who just use playsand though so that might be the safer option if you are concerned.
