    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....

any opinions? I have long worked with carefresh with all kinds of animals, mostly rodents, but how is it for snakes? anything better? I always have problems fully cleaning up poop and messes with most substrates.
 
I use aspen for my hognose snakes. They prefer a substrate they can burrow in.
Care fresh might be fine, I know several breeders that use it in their collections. I don't because of the expense considering the number of cages and racks I have in use.
 
i use calcium sand....she can burrow in it and its digestable...even though she doesnt eat in her tank..but you know....and you can always see the poop..its very clean..i love it....and its so easy to clean with the pooper scooper.
