Re: Floor Tiles as Substrate
I would imagine that would scratch the snakes belly... I don't think that'd be such a good idea, for many reasons.
Re: Floor Tiles as Substrate
Was it a vet with any specialty in reptiles or any training? A lot of vets from where I used to live didnt know anything about anything but dogs and cats and still tried to say "such and such is bad, such and such is a good, your bp needs a uv light" and what not.
Re: Floor Tiles as Substrate
The vet I went to does specialize in reptiles and other exotic pets. I can't say I liked them, because I thought a lot of their ideas were kind of weird.
Re: Floor Tiles as Substrate
Would the UTH even heat the tiles? Bps burrow, they couldnt burrow in tile...
Re: Floor Tiles as Substrate
I wouldn't do that.. for a number of reasons
1: the amount of heat the UTH would have to put out to heat a ceramic tile would be crazy.
2. half the job of substrate is to absorb some of the waste. Tile doens't even come close..
Use paper towels or Newpaper..
