    What bedding for warmer environment?
    Hey guys,

    Just out of curiosity, is there a bedding that will keep snakes warmer or will hold heat better? Right now one bp is on eco earth in a tank(he is my "pet" and the others are breeders), and the other three are in containers on a rack with paper towels as bedding. With winter coming I was curious on how to keep them warmer.

    Thanks

    I use basic aspen and have zero problems. So far.

    If you want to hold more heat then the simplest method is to raise humidity. I use cypress, coconut bark, &/or eco earth in my set ups.

    What physicians&snakes said..although u don't wanna raise your humidity to much40-60 on avg is perfect from what I've read and from my experience.. Although try n stay 70-80 while in shed... But his bedding options should work. I'm thinking I may try to switch over to Eco earth soon or coconut husk..I been doing some reading...

    How would raising the humidity hold more heat in the bedding?
