Yea i know its sounds lame but i dont like how rough the cypress mulch is on them. I feel like it could hurt sliding over it but im sure in the wild they go over worse stuff :p

Where did you order yours from?

Edit: also one more question... Does it clump up when it gets wet? Bc my snakes like to splash their water around in the tubs sometimes making the cypress wet which spikes the humidity on me lol

I got mine from The Pet Pharmacy.

In my experience, it clumps. I am able to scoop the tubs for urates like litterboxes, it's pretty convenient.

It's not really abnormal. Most boas will burrow once in a while. I have only seen Eve burrow that one time, but Ember seems to do it a lot more.

Oh my gosh that's adorable!

My girl makes a mess when she burrows, since she's so huge. But it's soooo cute to see just her lil' nose sticking out!! :D

That's why I never refer to my snakes as any particular locale. Just 'BCI' will do it for me.

That's my favorite, as well. She's so curious. I really think she thought she was getting food.

Lol!! That's just my sig.. I wasn't saying that directly to you. It's going to show up on all my posts ;)

Trying to change it still. It won't show up right!

Oops. Sorry, I didn't realize it was meant to be a signature. :oops: That's weird that it's not showing up as one though.
