    Re: New tub with fresh eco earth

    i just bought some pine substrate today as they didnt have any aspen, its cut pretty finely so im guessing this will work too. Is that right or no, cause i already know that people shy away for using ceder. ???

    Pine is toxic. Don't use it.

    Seriously don't use pine or cedar! You'll mess your snake's respiratory system up.

    Just use newspaper ( I prefer unprinted) or Aspen. Either of these should solve the humidity prob.

    Re: New tub with fresh eco earth

    So can anyone answer the original question instead of telling me what I can or cannot do?

    If you want to use the eco-earth just dry it out as much as you can. You could even bake it in the oven on the lowest heat setting for a while. But to be truthful, you will always have high humidity because of it and it could lead to an RI.
