caging tips?

[vanderkm]

We have been using aspen shavings for all our adult corns, milks and kings but although it looks nice and natural I am not too happy with the absorbancy. We are using Soft Sorb, which is a paper based litter in the tubs for juveniles (it is in the photo of the baby snake) and it is great so far - clumps like cat litter around the feces and makes them easier to pick up. I will be switching everyone to that or Care Fresh when they come out of cooling in the spring.

As Sapphire Moon says - you can use a bigger tank for a baby snake as long as you have a good heat gradient and plenty of tight hide spots - and - more critical - as long as the lid is secure so that a baby cannot escape. I would go with a rubbermaid tub for youngsters - they are cheap and really secure.
