yeah mine is currently on "chipsi-extra" from wilsons, and he loves it, digs around in it happily.
Like Mujicians he hisses like mad, and tries to bite me (thank goodness he's rear fanged). He's actually the most agressive snake I own (even my GTP is more friendly) but I'm working on it

I'm actually thinking tho of getting rid of all my sustrate stuff and using nespaper for everyone. I found some mites on Ed the other day (think i found them early as they were only tiny), and after doing a bit of research i discovered they live and lay their eggs in the substrate. Mite get some prevent a mite for every time i clean out - that should keep em away (Sorry - Just thinking out loud!)

Default Handling

Mine is small so I use a pencil or pen to pick him out of his faunarium. He hisses at me but when he's out hes a pussy cat and just loves exploring my hand! I'm going to invest in a small snake hook for taking all my critters out then i'll take em off the hook and start handling them.

Can be a bit flighty too when they're small but get it out with a pen or pencil or something that will help you keep your fingers out the way! (I'm presuming its small!) It will be absolutely fine when he's out! (You can come and find me if it bites you!)
