Like heaps of people i received the news letter from Snake Ranch, I could not help but wonder what is that substrate they are using for thier hatching and adult pythons?
I have seen this aswell... they have it at my local petstore, i might pick some up next time, it comes in a compressed "mini bale" wrapped in plastic... wasn't too expensive either...
I've just done an exhaustive 5 min internet search (lol) and haven't been able to find an Australian stockists..yet.....but hey! I'm only on my first cup of coffee.
Yep, it is carefresh, I asked when I picked up my snake- sort of a soft pressed paper. They said that the hatchlings seemed to be feeding better this year with this substrate. My little woma seems to love it, as he can burrow under.
There is a pet shop near me which (i'm pretty sure) stocks this stuff, I think it's compressed cardboard and I'm intrigued by it.
plus it comes in some really cool colours.
I dont use it tried it and if when the snake is eating a mouse or rat thats defrosted the cardboard stuff sticks to it dont know if it causes and problems but i wouldnt risk it. plus one of my angry jungles got a tiny peice of it stuck in one of his pits till he shed wouldnt it come out plus everytime he struck at anyone walking past he'd get a bit stuck in his mouth not fun to remove. more trouble than its worth IMO anyway other people may like it but not for me. For those that do want it in brisbane PET CITY, and the pet shop at garden city sell it.
I think we must have all been wondering the same thing. I just googled "carefresh bedding" & came up with a few stores online but the RSPCA site has all the different sized packs listed. Don't know if I can post the link or not.
