    Bedding type.

    Hi i was on youtube just now and i seen a guy with his ball python bedding as sand, i dont know if it was just the feeding tank or what but he never answer my post when i asked it. Is it fine to have a sand type bedding or should i go with what everyone else i see has and go aspen ect?

    I doubt sand would be recomended, I know in bearded dragons, babies can have a hard time passing sand and cause impaction.

    I donno why you would want sand, dries out quick, offers no oder protection

    No to sand, aspen, paper towels, news paper, cypress, and a few others are acceptable.

    I use newspaper and I love it! It is so easy to tell when the snake has peed and it's quick and easy to clean up!
