    Since that enclosure will have a dry climate, guess you can use one of those borrowing mixes: Excavator Clay. As long as there is no misting around clay it should be fine .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    Monitors of all species need moister to some degree. With ackies, they need it dry above ground and moist in burrows.
