What the heck kinda substrate is this?

Agreed it's just sort of a picture back drop. I've seen a few pics of theirs and they put alot of animals on that same back drop.
Not to be used as a regular sub though.


Check out what's new on my website... www.Homegrownscales.com

Yup. It's a picture setup designed to enhance the colors of the animals. I've seen it a lot at shows.

If you're interested in colored substrate, I know that there is dyed aspen available. I've seen it in black, red, and green.

Carefresh also comes in multiple colors if you're looking for another option.

I know the breeder who posts those photo's, he's got AWESOME animals and is a great guy.
Those pics are for photo shoots for his ads only ;)

His snakes are GORGEOUS!! I thoroughly enjoyed perusing his website...

I think there is no need to assume that those animals receive as you put it very poor care because they do not.

Those rocks are used as a prop for photography, Mark Petros is a stand up breeder taking very good care of his animals.

You can't judge everything by a picture :gj:

Just for argument sake; why would this make a bad substrate?

1st does not hold humidity.
2nd is too cold for the snake to sit on.

Thats mark petros and he is top notch when it comes to care and quality. He produces some of the brightest pastels and pastel combos and has been for years. Hes a good dude to deal with. The color rocks is for pictures only
