ball python newspaper

[ballpythonboy]

my roomate says that news paper ink could give a ball python an allergic reaction is this true

[Kaorte]

Short answer: no, it can't.

It might discolor a lighter snake, but it won't hurt them.

Newspaper is fine

The ink used is vegetable based.

The only concern is if you have a white snake it might not stay white all the time.

Only by 7 years.

Ink will tranfer on to the sake and any color change will go away with the next shed, same thing with white snake and damp coconut bedding.
