Right now my five month year-old girl is on aspen shavings And was planning on changing her to Reptichip Coarse Coconut Husk when she moves from the tub to a permanent home. But as I’m reading up and trying to perfect my husbandry I’m starting to feel that it might be a good idea to swap her out sooner than later. Mainly because I noticed a couple dry or more jagged scales as I put down her body.
But is it stressful for most snakes to change substrate material? I often hear that BPs don’t handle change well even when it comes to moving furniture, does the same go for substrate? Should I let her play in a tub of Coconut husk every now and then before I clean/disinfect and swap the aspen out? I appreciate any insight! Thanks.
