Is nylon fabric or latex poisonous/toxic to snakes in the same way cedar is?

[RustlewoodReptiles]

Hello everybody, I was wondering if what I'm doing
would be okay for my female spotnose ball python.
She's a little over a year old in a 10 gallon tank but
I have a 55 gallon that I'm prepping for her and will
add many hides and or half off the enclosure to make
her feel more secure if need be (maybe thinking foggers
along with dehumidifiers working symbiotically in tank)..

Now, before people start telling me tubs are better
which I'm aware of, I'll make sure this thing is dialed
into the correct environmental settings. I'm versed
with very picky plants so this won't be an issue for
me. What I'm mainly wondering here is if it would be
okay to use these soft nylon/latex bottom bath mats
as a substrate or just as the bottom of the tank with
sphagnum moss as the substrate. I made sure it was
a non yarn-laden type fuzzy mat that wouldn't snag
scales at a reverse direction. If not prefered for textural
reasons pertaining to the muscle development of the
snake for some reason, I'll use sphagnum moss as the
substrate and mat as the bottom so if she burrows she
will touch fuzzy instead of rubbing glass; if nylon fabic
and or laxtex thats used on the bottoms are toxic I still
have the washable reptile substrate sheet I can use as
the enclosure's backing for the shattered parts of the
tank's back wall. Out of everything I'm exhaustingly
wondering I just want to know if materials are toxic
in anyway , in the way cedar wood chips would be,
to my sweet spotnose ball python. I searched the
internet relentlessly and found nothing pertaining to
the materials used, or any bath mats being poisonous
or harmful to snakes. I'm very sure I'm just being extra
cautious, as any novice or even experienced herper
should be, and am making sure I don't mess up. The
tank I got was for free, and discovered the back of it
is shattered which matters not to me as it won't be
holding any water, so I'm putting one of the mats
against the whole back wall as a cover from the glass
that's shattered and to double as a background/soft
material to rub up against. So even if I go with another
substrate, I still have these fake grass pads for reptiles
which I originally had for the broken glass wall until I
bought these bathmats and cut them up. I'll post pics
of the development in a bit depending on feedback ITT.

Thank you in advance!

I'm am not aware of any reaction a snake may have coming into contact with those materials. My main concern is how well you will be able to clean them. I don't see them holding up to the abuse of washing them repeatedly. If it were me I would stick to the known and follow regular husbandry methods.

I think the best use for the moss is to place it in your hides. When you have a up coming shed make it damp and keep it that way until the shed is complete. During regular times I dampen the moss and allow it to dry out before making it damp again. This is also a good way to make a hide feel more secure by taking up any extra room and really letting your snake feel safe.

Aswell if it gets stuck to rat when ingesting... the only way a thing gets through a snake is down. not back up

@KMG: Thank you for your reply, basically
all I wanted to know if anyone knows about
these being toxic, which I literally spent all
day yesterday searching high and low online,
to the point where I'm pretty confident about
it; I intended on washing them in a washing
machine every so often, but with the substrate
piled over the mats so that if she chooses to
burrow down, she has fuzzies instead of rubbing
against glass. Literally the only thing I can even
think of would be if some kind of epoxy was used
in the bathmat, but it doesn't say on the tag..
even in that case, which I read pertains to
carpets and carpet material; but can be used
for pythons if aired for a weeks time apparently?

I feel confident with your input, but not sure
how carpet epoxies are related with my mat..

I'll add extra moss into her hides & moisten it
during shed, thank you for the input and advice!

@CORBIN91: I have no intention of feeding her
inside of her enclosure and will retire her old 10
gallon tank as the feeding chamber, also I made
sure that the material wouldn't come off easily
or something like that from these bathmats....

I think I'm going to just go ahead with lots of
moss then, thanks everyone for the input given.
I'll update and reply to this topic as need be, TY
