Carefresh

[marisa]

Well they have been on the carefresh for a couple hours, and what do you know, I already have an early opinion.

First off, because of work I wash my hands literally 60 times a day. This makes for very dry skin in the winter, and right now they are irratated to begin with a bit.....with that taken into account...after filling the cages with carefresh and handling it, my hands were highly red and irrated as they would be after a long day of hand washing and dry skin.

I take this means its REALLY drying.

I am going to leave it for a full shed cycle and see whats up. I may make sure all have humid hides...as I don't use them for kingsnakes now....or try and mist every so often.

It's a little dusty, but nothing like wood dust.

My snakes starting burrowing into it immediatly though. Which was kinda neat since they haven't done that in years.

So I guess my full opinion will be after they have been on it for a shed or two.

i have only used carefresh and all my snakes are yearlings or less so not sure how they will fare when they are larger, but i have found that i like.. not that i have much to compare to. i have never had a problem with mold and all have shed easily. they do seem to enjoy burrowing esp the king and the hognose.
