hi!!! nice snake i need to get myself one of them!

Kat...that's funny...when Hermes was really little, I was always trying to find substrate that he didn't blend right into! It is really difficult to see albinos in certain substrates. He is getting so big now though that it isn't so much of a problem anymore.

Yep...Dan, my albinos seem to like reptibark. The only issue with it is that snakes really can't burrow in it so you have to make sure they have plenty of hides.

So reptibark might get a shot. My snake dosen't seem to burrow (of course kind of hard with paper towel) but loves to climb. Climb, climb, climb. Should the reptibark be blended with something else or is it fine on its own? How is it for spot cleanning after poo's...

[katach]

Reptibark can be used all by itself. Spot cleaning is pretty easy too.

Welcome! I'm new here too.

You're snake is beautiful! I just recently a young Gulf Coast Ribbon Snake, but not quite as tiny as yours

P.S. This place is totally awesome, you'll find any answers you need here

Thanks for all the tips and welcome messages. He is settling in well now. Eating regularly and coming out now.

I'm thinking I am going to switch Cee Cee back to reptibark. I changed her over to aspen because I didn't like the splinters that I was getting from the reptibark when I cleaned the tank...but I think she was happier with the bark. I'm not sure. She likes to burrow in the aspen but doesn't seem to like to go under her hides with it.

How is Cee Cee doing overall?

ya, when they can burrow theyll ignore the hides cuz suddenly the whole cage can be a hide. unless you have a tantilla they can dig in repti bark because there so small.
