Sand on its own wont cause an RI, the fact that it will hold a lot of water and potentially raise the humidity could be a factor in the RI arguement.

even the scaleless snakes have the same problems with impactions.
sand is a no no, for the reasons above, scales or no scales.

There are a few scaleless morphs about at the mo, i think mostly they are corns, personally i havent seen any, it doesnt really interest me, that and i certainly cannot afford one!!!



What if you fed out the tank unless my brain is being dumb on the meaning of impactions. *_*

Indeed you are right Eeeji :o it must have been a snake I saw housed on sand that naturally lived in a sandy place that was scaleless and house on sand x.x



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
