The Best Substrate

[infernalis]

Just got some more of the Corn Cob stuff, They (the snakes) seem to like it, and it clumps like cat litter.

Is that the pellet stuff? I have been wondering about that.

I use corn cob but you must handfeed them. They will swallow it and it will cause a blockage if they can't pass it. A couple of my babies ingested some without me knowing it and days later I saw them throw it up. It's great stuff for keeping odor down and for easy spot cleaning. Its drawback is serious unless monitored very closely. I can get a 50lb bag for $21. That's way over priced since it costs them $8.33 a bag. The company that makes it is here in Iowa but will only sell it to me by the pallet load. That's overkill for me.

I was thinking about corn cob for my adults... It is very cheap, and I hand feed them anyways...
For babies I'm sticking with newspaper, and right now in the adult tank I have aspen.

Here it is, and I always hand feed all my snakes anyways.

Yesterdays purchase was 911, I needed to clean some tanks, and did not have ANY substrate on hand. No desire to run off to the pet store for an $11 bag of aspen either.

I get my Zoo Med substrates at close to wholesale, but must wait for the package to arrive.
