Re: Treating Reptile Beddings Such As Aspen

Once a bad idea goes "viral" too many people blindly follow.

I never boil or bake or bleach logs or rocks from outside either.

Think about it, Snakes and lizards eat some of the nastiest things on earth, including rancid carrion, Boas and Pythons frequent caves that have six feet deep guano (bat poop) all over the floor.

People who do a sloppy job on their husbandry tend to blame it on anything they can but themselves.

I have one cage set up here that has dirt from outside in it, I never clean it either. The cage is fully bio active, complete with all the bugs and germs, and those two animals are the most vibrant reptiles I have.

I also keep my gecko on lawn sod, and he is doing awesome.
