The cage is clean and the new substrate is in. I started with aspen and like/liked it for a number of reasons It's cheap and easy to clean up. I did not like how dry the cage climate was, but moss was an easy solution. I have a ton of it and would use it again, however I don't like the look as much.
Cypress was excellent with humidity and looked great. It was a bit harder to detect liquid urates and a touch harder to clean, but I like it more than aspen all around.
Here is the coconut husk.
It smells and feels like the earth. So far the tank humidity is very good. Sniper has only been on it about 1/2 hour but seems OK with it.
Again, I'm one of the "Spoil them rotten" pet owners with only 1 other snake so this is all fine and good for me. Anybody that has a breeding collection would probably not opt for this and I totally understand.
I'll give a little eval on what I think of coconut husk for boas after I've had it for a while. So far I see some advantages with the very fine makeup of the stuff and I find it rather attractive.
The weekend is a day away. Be safe, be happy!
And just for fun a "Snake Utopia" shot. The sneaky fella is hiding out in the upper right corner.
