    It is not a good substrate, unfortunately. Sand in general has some properties that make it less than ideal.

    The bark and mulch substrates should be okay. Unfertilized peat moss has worked well for me.

    Can't say much about waterfalls, except that I'd personally stay away from them. I like the KISS principle.

    Stefan,

    I have to ask, what is the "kiss" principal?

    Remember, the blue sand isn't for the snake, it's for you
    Snakes can't see blue anyway.

    I bought my snakes some awesome hides and they would rather have the cardboard box they came in.
    They follow the KISS systems to. Just like Stefan.
