Eco earth

[dannybgoode]

Opions will vary re bedding for large adult snakes. All my snakes regardless of size will get a naturalistic substrate but I know others just use newspaper or whatever. You do really need to use something to absorb the urine and other mess and to make cleansing easier.

I find paper towel a pain even in a small quarantine tub as it's useless at holding moisture and maintaining humidity. Eco earth would be just fine although as with everything I'd mix other stuff into it depending on species being kept.

I would start it off on plain white paper towel though whilst in quarantine as it makes spotting issues with faeces, possible mites etc easier.

I always start on paper towels for at least the first week or so mainly to look for mites and other issues then switch to a bedding.


Ive had the eco earth outside in an open tub so I may need to grab a new cube and not use that one.

thanks everyone
