    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

right substrate???

I was wondering what is the recomended substrate for a RTB right now I just have them on indoor/outdoor carpet and some moss to keep humidity. any sugestions would be nice.

Thanks for your help,
Steve:D
 
I keep all of my snakes on a newspaper substrate. Its cheap, easy to clean and you don't have to worry about the snakes ingesting any of it.
 
No, not at all.....you might have some problems keeping the humidity up during shed periods if you are housing them in glass tanks, but I use rubbermaid tubs for all of my snakes, and they hold humidity very well....once the snakes go into shed, I simply mist once a day and I've had nothing but perfect sheds. What kind of Boas do you have?
 
I have 1.2 RTB complements of Kevin DeBusk great little snakes.
and ya im in a glass aquarium w/ screen top. thats my prob
 
I would just go to wal-mart & get some rubbermaid/sterilite containers, solder or drill some ventilation holes in them and then your problem will be solved! Rubbermaids are very inexpensive and are easily replaced when the snake needs a bigger enclosure. :)
