Hi, does any one use this substrate? I really fancy using something like this or the astro turf like okeetee mick uses.
I like the thought of having a few spare so I can have clean ones ready while I clean the soiled ones.
Your thoughts please |

| I use cage carpet for the gecko, it's dead easy if you've got a couple of bits, just swap them over and then clean the soiled one ready for next time. I don't use it for the snakes as its quite abbraisive and also doesn't allow them to burrow. |

| As above, my snakes like to burrow in the aspen or chips and act like hooligans. |

| lupi lou, your set up looks great, I do like the carpet look, how often do you change the carpet for a fresh one, also does it dry quick? |

| I change it once a week once they have pooed on it, it dries really quick. it is quite rough at first but once it have been washed it is much softer. |

Only got the two Kings on this at present but I do like it. I sprinkle a little fine orchid bark to enhance the look.

Personally, I prefer my snakes to be on something they can burrow in. I don't think Titan would be too impressed if he couldn't dig around in the substrate, he has made loads of tunnels in his  |
