Burrows well not hold what to do to solve this?

my savanna monitor keeps trying no make burrows in his terrarium but they keep collapsing on him.best answer gets 10 points!

Answer 1

Those peek a view burrows would barely fit a hatchling sav.  Use the Zoo Med Excavator Sand.  It holds burrows up and it is pretty much like regular sand other than that.

Answer 3

its not the monitor. its the soil mix. your mix does not hold the burrows. start with 50% top soil and 50% play sand and add as much water you need to make a "snow ball". this is a very basic/ not the best monitor substarte mix but its a good start.here is a link all about monitor substrate choiceshttp://proexotics.com/FAQ2.html#19

all these other answers are wrong.

Answer 4

You can't really do much to help him, he is learning to make his burrows, if you really insist on helping him, then you may wet the sand but take him out before you do this, wet it and let it dry for a little, then it should be more steady.
