In Reply to: Substrate question posted by chris240582 on March 07, 2003 at 05:26:58:
My only thought is: That seems like a lot of work, when you could be using aspen right out of the bag or just laying down newspaper. Also, once every 12 months is probably not often enough, unless there is something about that particular substrate that I don't know about. I will go a few months just spot-cleaning my aspen. My snakes are small right now, and I assume that when they get bigger I will need to do a complete change more often. I know this: You are better off cleaning too much than not enough. Duffy
:I have read on a website that if you use repti-bark as a substrate you can clean it by:
:soaking it well in boiling water for say 1/2 an hour, rinsing it through, then drying it out in an over until completely moisture free (to stop mould). This stated it also said to change the substrate completely at least once every 12 months.
:I use beach wood chips and wondered if it was the same thing as repti-bark, if anyone else had heard of this and also if anyone seriously advised against it?
:Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have also posted this on the caging forum so apologies to those that read it twice.
