Just wondering what substrate is the best for a CRB and a BCI?

Thanks.

I use bark chippings myself

I use Aubiose (horse bedding) for mine

Is that for both species?

Thanks

I have bci's, BRB's and CRB's (and everything else) on Aubiose with no problems

Some people prefer bark etc for species that need higher humidity but I just prefer Aubiose,

Is this OK for hatchlings or not?

Thanks.

Yes, but same as any substrate, do not feed on it for risk of ingestion.

Newspaper Is another option but give the snake a Hide filled with sphagnum moss

I keep BCI on auboise and CRB on orchid bark. CRB is probably fine on either, but I find auboise + humidity = mushrooms. I find orchid bark is the best for holding moisture in without getting mold or mushrooms. (Literally mushrooms, found some about 6" tall in a RUB that wasn't properly ventilated housing a laying corn snake that needed a large humid moss box)
