Orchid bark is a good choice because it will hold humidity but if it is eaten you may be in trouble. I guess super soil is potting soil right? I like clean potting soil (very little or no perlite/big chunks of wood) myself. I've often used aspen on young redfoots because that is what I keep the colubrids on and if you soak the animal often it works fine also. It's really your call.


: Hi,

: I purchased a young (approx 7 month old) Red Foot this past weekend.
: The East Bay Virvarium where I purchased it recommended using
: bark as a substrate. I currently have aspen shavings in the cage.
: I know Supersoil has been mentioned as a prefered substrate. What
: are the pros and cons of each one?

: Thanks

: Jeff
