What if I went with a biophile or some other plastics enclosure like that?
I only bring up the paper towels because of mites. I'm finishing up my first mite infestation, and still have no clue where they came from. I put everyone back on their substrate too early, and ended up with mites a month later, so they're staying on paper towels for 2 months, no exceptions, this time around. we're on month 2. And all I've been reading from breeders and enthusiasts is to keep new snakes on paper towels while in quarantine, which we now do about 60 days (sometimes longer, depending on what's happening). So if we mist twice a day, do you think that'll be enough? I guess the only way to know is to get the enclosure and test it out for a few days to see what happens in these scenarios.
She's still there at the pet store.
