If you think it will make any difference, go ahead.

I guess you're right?

[Starling96]

and about those pebbles they seem to be rocks lol
theyy will be fine
he cant ingest those

[amcutem]

So tonight, Im gonna leave some worms with him again. If he doesn't eat it by morning, I guess I can put it back in the container and put it back in the fridge..

I also took a picture of soil and worm dish that you guys adviced me to do. Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong...


Thanks

Soil looks too wet. You want it moist but not wet.
Your snake will be more likely to dig through it if it's not on the muddy side.
Othorwise it looks like a good size container.

I have a question. The worms that I've left with him are atleast 4times the size or length of his little head. Will that be to long and big for him to eat?

[RedSidedSPR]

Probably fine... If you think it's too big, cut them in half, but im sure it's fine.

Last nite i caught him digging and crawlimg under and in the soil. He looked so awesome just doing that. :-) But he still didnt eat the worm. But I think he likes the soil. Maybe I could buy some clean soil from the plant store and make him a proper soil playground. Will that be ok?

[RedSidedSPR]

Well, as long as it's not the main bedding...

I don't think there's a reason. He was digging, because

1. It was new and he was checking it out

2. He was hungry

[kibakiba]

I would say NO on the soil bedding. it is a breeding ground for bacteria if it's moist, it molds fast, especially if they poop in it and it's extremely messy. If it's a really dusty soil, it can cause breathing problems.
Garters will check things out when its new, and they are curious, so it seemed like he was enjoying himself, when he was probably just trying to figure out what it was.

[amcutem]

No, I want gonna use it as bedding. I wanted to do it becuz I got excited wen i saw him digging in it and maybe eating.

I dunno. Maybe I'll stick with the little soil container I have now.
