repti bark q's

[mommanessy247]

i plan on using repti bark in my visionarium. how will i know when the snake has peed/pood on it? is snake pee/poo white?

Snake pee is yellow with white urates in it and the poo is brown and looks like logs.

LOL! You are right!

Personally, I think Repti-Bark is way overpriced, and is crap for holding humidity, unless you pour half a gallon of water on it 18X daily.

what about the jungle floor stuff? ball pythons live in the african jungle in the wild right?

[4theSNAKElady]

Are you talkin' about the expanding "brick of dirt"?

[mommanessy247]

eco earth..nuh uh.
its bark bedding but its supposed to mimic the jungle floor...

[4theSNAKElady]

Mimic shmimic. What qualities/purpose are you lookin for in a bedding? That might give you a better idea of what to look for. Are you looking for something inexspensive ? Aesthetic looking? what exactly.....there are just sooo many beddings out there. A newer one that I'm "piloting" is called Kitty's Crumble...it's made of 100% ground coconut fibers, and comes outta the bag moist. Holds great humidity, and cheap, because it's marketed as a "eco-friendly" cat litter. I'm tryin it out as hatch medium too.

ok just got off the phone with my breeder...he said that cypress mulch will hold humidity better & i can buy that cheap at home depot.
