What brand to use and not to use???

Ok, i think the brand im using for my snake isnt good for her??? Im using the brand loose coconut fiber substrate, so im asking whats a good brand that will retain humidity (i have a really tall cage ._.) For a coastal carpet python??? The guy from petco said it was good for snakes and all that but i dont think its good if anything i think its making her sick??? I dont know or is that just me being paranoid??? Lol

How is the substrate making her sick? Has she swallowed some that stuck to a feeder, or is she not breathing normally?

I use cypress mulch for snakes that require high humidity like my BRB's.

Melinda gave you a good suggestion on substrate.
Are you certain that your snake does not have an RI?
Have you examined her mouth, etc.?

Im thinking she does have an RI and i dont know how to check a snakes mouth, im a first time snake owner. Shes a coastal carpet python, and i read loose dirt/substrate can cause RI's ._. I dont know if there correct on it or not, but i read it somewhere. Sorry if im sounding dumb im just new to this still

No, it can't. If you think your snake is sick then find a vet who specializes in reptiles and exotic animals and make an appointment.

Also how in the world did you end up with a coastal carpet python as a first-time snake owner? Most people pick something a bit easier to keep.
