Hey everyone just wanting to know how to use coco peat so it's completely safe for my snake
im currently using newspaper I don't like the look of it at all I've bought some coco peat but it has a rather strong smell to it It's a reptile brand one I think it's called jungle peat not quiet sure I chucked the wrapper out its in a bag now
just wondering if having somthing with a strong smell would affect the snakes lungs or give it a respiratory infection of some kind
does it need to be washed or boiled and dried out before use I'm thinking that when the heat mat will go on it it will increase the smell of the coco peat as the enclosure smells like newspaper at the moment I'm thinking of changing to white printer paper to avoid the newspaper smell or isn't this kind of thing an issue I feed my snake out of its cage so ingesting the coco peat isn't an issue just wanting to know if the snake livin in a constant environment with the coco peate smell will be harmful for her health? I just want my snake to have the best life sorry if this is cowed elsewhere on the forum I've been searching for this answer all over and haven't found it
thankyou
