It's soil with little creatures that live in a constantly process the soil and keep it clean. And they don't harm your animals and you don't have to change the substrate
You're very welcome. I can't take credit for the original bed idea. Someone on a thread somewhere here did it. I'm sure you could create a modified bunk bed or similar structure fairly easily. And the mattress on top. My only thought was that the heat from enclosure 'might ' be uncomfortable in summer months but I could be wrong. Not sure if it would actually penetrate a good 'bunk board ' and mattress. Make sure you show us your progress if you decide to do this! Would love to see it!thats the best idea ever! i think i might make it into my bed! thank you very much for youre excelent advice.
My bed is atop my tegu's quarters. The enclosure is 36" from the floor up. Heat is not a problem with my setup, the mattress apparently offers adequate insulation.You're very welcome.

Wow i like that idea alot! because i always have a huge amount of stuff that i need for feeding, maitnence, bulbs, etc.. and that would be a perfect spotWhat i would do if I were you is I would make the bed frame like a foot higher than you want the cage then you could also use the top of the cage as a table that you can put stuff on top of and then you wouldn't have to worry about the bed being right on top of it
Mine has a 2x4 frame with 6 uprights & a reinforcing steel crosspiece in the center, under the mattress. It is covered with 1/2" plywood. I weigh over 200# & everything is holding up nicely.hello viejo, how strong is your enclosure? because i want to make extra sure i dont crush my sav
