OK, Friends, Romans, Herpophiles lend me your substrate wisdom (and ears)
Getting lots of crossed wires on this one.
What substrate should be used?
News paper is recommended. Can this include fresh Photocopy paper?
Some say the pellets used for rabbits / cats but I have heard this can dry the hatchling out. Astroturf or bark are other options. Everything has pluses and minuses. Seems like sand is not recommended.
What do you all use / recommend?
I would like to get a nice balance between aesthetic and snake comfort.
Also why is just about everything the snake encounters in the wild not acceptable in captivity. Snakes don't get nice News Paper and Astroturf in the wild!
