Hi, All! My tiger salamander generally has a thin coating of eco-coir on his skin, and I just want to make sure it's not going to cause issues. I keep the substrate consistently moist, and he has a log hide, so he isn't really burrowing, but there's often a thin layer of eco-coir floating on top of his water because he tracks it in and out of there. My theory is that every time he takes a dip (he's at my workplace, and I think he's mostly doing this at night when I'm home) the eco-coir on the surface coats him as he gets out. I worry that as it dries it will also dry his skin and cause issues, though he seems fine so far and it's been a couple of weeks. Am I fussing too much? If not, how have you dealt with this?
