What Substrate do You Use?

[nakerz_the_herp]

I just set up a new enclosure for my adult spotted python and wanted a new substrate. At the moment he's on newspaper but I'm most likely going to the GC expo and I was gonna get some substrate cheap. So, what substrate do you use?

 

[zacthefrog]

exo terra plantation soil extreamly useful stuff

Kritters crumble works fine for me

 

[smithson]

News paper is what i use

 

[SYNeR]

Aspen Snake Bedding.

May think of swapping to CareFresh, not sure yet though.
I'll swap to anything else that allows for spot cleaning and looks aesthetically pleasing (not Breeder's Choice).

I've caught my Stimson python burrowing under/through the aspen bedding in his enclosure multiple times now.

Mate, It is so frustrating with snakes...

Grogshla: Any reason for the white A4?

i just use fibrecycle now..recycled pellets

sand is crap for snakes, aspen isnt all its cracked up to be either..

newspaper is good as long as you change it a bit, but looks average,

Why is sand crap for snakes? I have kitty crumble atm in my snake tank but I was looking at going sand. What dramas did you or have you heard of with sand??

Snakes - bark
Lizards - sand

Beardies are on sand at the moment which is annoying me!! will probably go back to newspaper, Blueys on news paper, netties on news paper and desert sand for my Knobbies. I'm a fan of news paper lol

 

[timantula]

aspen snake bedding.. for snakes.. and my water dragon is on coco fiber and bark..

 

[Fiamma]

Kittys Crumble for snakes and Wild Crystal sand for Beardies (very easy to spot clean)

 

[richoman_3]

lizards - sand, cocopeat+sand mix
frogs - cocopeat, pebbles
snakes - :'(
