Turbine eating in the air.

Ks42 id have to take a survey to find out the percentage of people who bake their substrate to go further but baking it only kills the fungi at that moment, new fungi can and will grow just like even if you wash something with soap, bacteria will build up again.

If were going off track id like to add, many high humidity requiring snake keepers and breeders house their snakes in low ventilation, high humidity housing....with substrates like cocohusk, cypress mulch...etc and have no problems with RI's. Have they been doing it wrong all these years?

maybe they bake it? kiling all spores and unwanted things? i was more so refuing to spores being in the air, rather then injesting the mushroom/fungi, allowing the posobility to produce more of said fungi or releace more spores in there air. a fellow snake keeper found a small mushroom in his plantation soil in his encloser so did a bit of reaserch wich wasnt all tht posmising, a small mushroom could easily pass the unsespecting eye

Then they'd have to bake it every time they gave the snake fresh water or sprayed down the tank, because you can introduce fungal spores through water. Spores can also be introduced and run rampant if there's too much air circulation.

EDIT: Sorry about that Mikoh, he incorrectly quoted you so it looks like I'm responding to you.

I'm not so sure he is......

Also it almost feels like I'm talking to Frank R......

That's terrible Kevin. Atleast she's in a good home now.

Didn't Wayne sticky that preventable live feeding horror thread? You should take pics and add them to it.

Mushrooms= good sautéed. Not pathogenic.

not sure how many people do it, but im supose to tell them to every time i sell bedding just as a precaution, ''wouldnt a quick bake be better then a dead snake?'' sortof redicules but that what y exo-terra rep tells me. atleats the bacteria would be build up from bacteria around your location, rather then a alien bacteria ect few hundred miles away were it is gatherd and bagged up

yes but they would be spores that the immune system is fermiliar with and not alien spores from a diffent state for example that it is unfurmiliar with?

Well I use newspaper so no worries for me lol. And if i were to go loose id use bio active substrate or something relatively dry like aspen and cocohusk.

yes, possibly intrducing spores and bacteria that its immune system is furmilair with ? rather then spores from a diffrent state and climate taht its system wouldnt be able to combat aswel?
unlikley but still possible.

suprisingly it was the cocohusky that grew my buddie a small turged dometopped mushroom, was thinking of eating it but who knows what trip that would send you on

Ive had fungi grow on cocohusk as well, not from the humidity but from the substrate being wet. It was in a screen top enclosure with lots of ventilation.
