What Substrate ?

691 views 17 replies 7 participants last post by  fallenhalo 
try and get one that guarantees no dust, the jury is still out on the best substrate they all have their pros and cons, the best for cleanlieness is newspaper as its practically sterile but it aint much to look at, aspen shavings is ok as long as you feed in a seperate tub and the snake isnt too big as it gets under their scales. i use coconut bark for my biggies like the burm and boas and aspen on my hatchlings and smaller stuff. it also depends on the snakes natural habitat, like my hognose lives in desert country so i use soft play sand.... i could go on but hope this helps

p.s you can get different coloured bark my pet shop had dark brown, light and red
stick with the bark for the royal just get a diff colour if you dont like it
