Sorry, I have not checked on this in awhile. Nope, you are right! I was actually just sneaking my question in another thread. I used the Jungle Mix I had for Jakers for him, and he ate some of it attacking a cricket one night! YICKS! I yanked some out of his mouth, but he still ate some of it. This was like a month ago though and I have seen no ill affects, Thank God! Since that day he has been on paper towels. We used paper towels at first for Gex our Gecko, and then put Aspen in because the label said it was ok.
I liked it, and thought it was nice and pillowy for him, and we didn't have any problems for awhile, but then one day my Hubby said he saw him get a piece eating a cricket, back to paper towels! The only ones we have with substrate now are Jake(The Corn Snake), and Ermac! Our newest addition the Rose haired Tarantula!
I wasn't trying to argue, I am sorry. Paper towels are the best in Picolos and Gexs case. I just like to try and make it as natural as possible for them. I have Jakers on Aspen now, and its ok. I really miss his dirt nose though!!
I think I might switch back. The substrate for Picolo didn't even matter! He comes to the ground more with the paper towels, and he LOVES his plants anyway! I have a couple plastic vines in their from the Pet Store, a silk plant from another store, and a real plant in with him. The real ones his favorite! The only problem I have with paper towels is the fact the crickets try, and successfully sometimes hide under it. My Fiancee being so smart thought to fold them down, and press them down and this has helped some. Thanx
