    This stuff thumbs down from me as far as using it for a BP. Especially for larger ball pythons with larger belly scales, that stuff could get in between them if they moved in a certain way. Don't use it, Reptibark is cheaper anyway I think....

    I know of some one who uses it for a Redtail he says its worked great for him and it is digestable and it doesnt' get in the scales.

    I'd also pass on it. It looks like sand, but I don't know exactly what it is(pic's small..and my eyes suck ;)). The main thing that turned me off of it though, was the package saying "Desert Blend". When I think desert, I think dry. And bp's thrive in humidity, so a substrate that's for a dry-environment reptile probably wouldn't be best for a reptile that's found in humid areas of Africa. I'd use newspaper before I used something like that. Just my opinion though. :)

    Edit: Did a quick search for this Desert blend substrate...seems it's crushed walnut shells, used to substitute sand.

    Desert Blend Lizard Litter is the ideal terrarium sand substitute for all desert dwelling reptiles. It is made from English Walnut shells that are ground to a uniform size.

    BP's aren't exactly desert dwelling, so yeah. ;)

    We use that for our Sudanese Plated Lizard - it's not really good unless you are trying to replicate an arid environment.

    Yep, I use reptibark myself. It does well with humidity, and is aesthetically pleasing when trying to make an environment that's natural looking. Only thing I don't like is the price. I get mine from a local pet shop, and he charges 12 dollars for a small bag. Luckily the small bag does my 20gal nicely and lasts a while.
