i like the reptibark because she seems to move more natural. on the news paper you could see the push and pull when she moved instead of a "slither" ya know what i mean

You must be very careful using the reptibark. If ingested it could cause a blockage.

when i feed i watch her and i cut the worms up so less chance for it to have the bark stick while trying to get it down and i put them on big lid too...but if i do notice a problem i got a 10g tank i can use for feeding. i wanted some shredded aspen but the bigger pet store was closed when my gf went to Walmart last night so she got a small bag of it. but next time im getting the aspen

You gotta be careful with Aspen too. I find reptibark easier because its a lot easier to keep it form being swallowed. Even though it might be worse then aspen if it is swallowed.

the water bowl is down in the bark where the top is about flush i thing i need a little bigger one she like to swim right through it in a straight line and sometimes she misses about the last quarter of her. well i went walking looking for the sand stone around here that comes off like slate to make her hot hide/basking area. I seen lots of fresh wet green moss all over the rocks...can i use it if i rinse off the dirt and everything or is there to much chance of disease/fungus/bacteria? and another thing i found was ferns well they look like ferns the leaves that shoot off the main branch feels a lot like moss could i add water and use it for a humid hide or is there to much chance of disease/fungus/bacteria?

Far as I know anything that comes from outdoors has a chance of something.​

Hmmm That seems small for a 20g tank... Is it a 20g tall tank? My 20g Long is 30" Long 14" Deep and 12" high....

20Lx10Wx12.25D is what i measured it at i was told it was between 20g and 30g so im just going by what i was told hell it was free the other one i have is 24Lx12.5Wx16.75D i believe that one was free too

20Lx10Wx12.25D is what i measured it at

Dimensions for a 10g tank. Ekoh will outgrow that tank pretty fast


the other one i have is 24Lx12.5Wx16.75D

These dimensions are a 20g High tank... A little bit more room but will be outgrown pretty fast...

Just kind of a heads up I guess not really much to worry about, but they do like to have room to explore and roam around ;)

ok i looked for aquariums but all i really seen was ones have a cabinet built under them or odd sized stuff where is a good place to look for tanks...and is there a site where you can put the dimensions in and it will tell you how many gallons?

hey guys i got a question about a wet hide. ive got a small round deli type container but im thinking it might be a little small. i got 2 things an old white plastic tylenol bottle its a big one that hdd 500 caplets. i also have a tall clear glass jelly jar. what i want to know is if i should use the plastic or the glass and then if i use the glass one could the outside be spray painted black so its darker inside. im thinking the one im using now might just be to small because she will go to it but wont go in at all, or she just might not like the wet hides unless she is going to be shedding.

Hmmm...well, if you do use the tylenol bottle, make sure to clean it out really well with hot soapy water...you don't want the chance of any of the tylenol being left in there. I have no idea about using spray paint and if it is safe. Pringles cans work nicely for a dark hide and you can just put some moist moss inside. She is a lovely snake btw. I would suggest using the feed tank with just some paper towels on the bottom when you feed. I try to avoid feeding on substrate whenever possible...now, if she won't eat in the feed tank...as some snakes don't respond well to being moved...put a couple of paper towels down on top of the reptibark and then use a paper plate on top of that to feed...that is what I do for my snakes who only will eat in their tanks. Then, supervise eating so that she doesn't try to drag the food under the paper towels.

Oh...also...plastic storage bins with locking tops work very nice for feeding. You can get them at dollar stores or Kmart for cheap. Just watch when you lock the top...I have had a couple of near misses when snakes try to jump out and get their heads over the side as I am putting the lid down. I always make sure no heads are near the top before locking the bins.

Good advice Marnie.
