Hi is better to use topsoil for laying bin or is better the sand instead? Which is more safe for a veiled chameleon?
 
I use lake Michigan beach Sand! Screened & baked @ 350° 1/2 hour to kill anything in the sand!
 
I use half organic potting soil and half finely crushed walnut shells. The walnut shells are just like sand but much cheaper
 
I use sand! When its wet/damp, it packs good & doesn't collapse when my females dig a tunnel! Hth! I live by lake Michigan so for me its free! Screen it, bake in oven & into bin!
