*suiting up*Can someone tell me what is the best substrate for a Bredli, can it be red sand?
That is what I am using. In the wild they live on it... And with a few rocks.

I got my first snake a few months ago. Before this I wasn't much of a snake handling person. But my little Bredli girl (7 months old when I got her) has made it a good transition for me. She was only little when I got her and I know she is growing. But I also know I still have a few years till she's a big girl. Obviously the child in question is going to be growing too, so I would say a 10 year old now will be 13 or so by the time a Bredli was big enough to be a bit tougher for the child. I think depending on the confidence of the child a Bredli would be a good choice. That's my opinion.

Plastic snakes are Ideal , then you have heaps of time looking at it to deside what snake you want to keep
Sand for Morelia can lead to the substrate getting stuck in the heat pits and causing infection. I used fine grain red sand once, but it got underneath the snake's scutes and drove them insane. I changed to washed beach sand, and that's not too bad, but it's a little hard to clean and keep hygienic. Newspaper all the way.
Wild_Storm, in the wild they don't really live on loose, beach like sand, where they can't escape. But this is another "in-the-wild-they-" argument. My philosophy is that our animals aren't in the wild, and shouldn't be exposed to the dangers they other wise would be.
