Hi,
I always wondered that about giants.
How much substrate do they need to absorb enough of the waste products that it no longer means they are sitting in their own effluent?
I know it only soaks it up rather than them sitting in liquid but is there a bare minimum you would need to use to avoid problems to the animal in the times between pooping or peeing it and the owner noticing and cleaning it out?
I know with my ball pythons a couple of sheets of newspaper seems to be enough that they always have a dry spot if it's an overnight poop frenzy but with a huuge burm or retic wouldn't that just disintegrate and float away?
