Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The substrate needed will depend on the type of enclosure and the critter's humidity requirements.

I'm looking bedding for a wide range of environments. But if you won't something specific I own two speckled king's right now.

For Speckled Kings, and most enclosures, I would use either aspen or white (without print) paper towels. This works well for most colubrids (those that do not require high humidity).

Actually, with rare exceptions, I keep my high humidity snakes in tubs and use unprinted paper towels. They get misted every day (with special attention on enclosure's warm side/end).
I know there will be other substrate recommendations, for high humidity critters, but I have never had a problem with what I use/do.
To help, with higher humidity needs, a wet hide can be placed in their enclosure along with the daily misting. An extra water bowl, placed on warm side, can help as well.
BTW Tanks are poor enclosures, for high humidity snakes, but, if one is used, at least half (if not 3/4) of the lid should be covered in plastic wrap (or can use something else that does not allow humidity to escape very fast).
