The wife dragged me into IKEA at the weekend. So what has this got to do with Cornsnakes I can hear people screaming.
Whilst looking around I found 1kg bags of pebbles, that were very reasonably priced at 69p a bag. I thought that they might make an interesting and different substrate for my 3 cornsnakes.
I have got an adult one in a 4 foot viv and 2 babies in a small glass viv.
The question is do you think that it will be ok to use some of these small pebbles as a substarte in these viv's.
Thanks for your words of wisdom. |

Exactly the reason for not using them, they retain heat too well and regulating it would be more difficult. That and keeping them clean. |

Remembering peoples comments from another thread here a while back, they're fine to use but just a pain to clean as everyone has said already! You don't want to build up a big layer of them though as the heat wouldn't go through them very well. |

i cant think of any reason not... it might actually help when they come to shed as they'l have more to rub on? means no tunneling tho which is something my snakey could live without! |

I only have some small pebbles to weigh down my probes, they are a nightmare to clean poo off! The poo goes and leaks and gets everywhere as there is nothing aborbant to soak it up. Wish they would poop on the aspen XD |
