Desert themes...

[Dovah]

My sister saved a gopher snake at school yesterday and decided to keep it since he's such a sweetheart. Right now I have him on paper towels with simple hides... not very attractive.

I want to give him a desert theme since his low humidity requirements can support it, plus gophers around here seem to enjoy being out in the open so being a little barren won't bother him.


What can I use as substrate? I know that sand doesn't make good substrate and I thought about using aspen, but it's ugly, reminds me of mice.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, I didn't know where else to post this. ^.^'
