Just wondering what substrate you're using for your tic?
Is it coco peat or potting soil or..?
How does it compare to newspaper or aspen?
Thanks!

I'm using coco husk. The EcoEarth brand. I use it for all my humidity loving snakes except the BRB.
I am in love with it though. It releases moisture really well and really slowly so it doesn't really dry out very quickly. I've noticed my snakes have soft skin like baby snakes and awesome iridescence. It can be messy if you aren't careful but if you keep it contained it should be fine. It also smells really nice, and absorbs odor better than anything I've seen. At least in my experience. I've had poo that steeped in the dish and was enough to make you heave but until you took it out it didn't smell at all, or just barely.
I've never used newspaper, but I prefer it over paper because it promotes muscle development by providing an uneven surface. As far as aspen goes it doesn't even compare with humidity.

Well my order from Big Cheese finally arrived earlier today, and Riverrun finally got her rat. She was pretty overexcited about it and apparently she required a hot spot to eat, but after a few tries we got it done. Haha
