There are lots of good substrates to use. Sand of any kind, crushed walnut shells, rabbit pellets, dry compressed grass pellets, and hay are NOT one of them. If someone has told you to use one of these, I would seriously question anything else they told you too. These substrates are too dry and inhibit the proper development of the immune system and also the low humidity level will cause pyramiding. In the case of using all sand, it is potentially dangerous and can the tortoise to choke. We use 2 feet of coconut coir and a layer of orchid bark on top of the coconut coir.
