    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

I've been doing alot of reading on feeding snakes in their enclosures. Now although I'm not new to having or feeding herps but I am new to using different substrates. I have (2) 8' albino burmese pythons and I've recently changed the substrate to shredded aspen bedding, now although I take them out to eat can the aspen create a choking hazard? It was done for cosmetics as well as it's simply easier to clean up.
 
I've used aspen a lot for my pythons though I am getting away from it in favor of disposable cage liners. I have never had an issue with choking, even with hatchlings, and I feed in the enclosures exclusively.
 
It seems to as often I have seen it adherent to the prey item. And I have never had a problem with impaction.
