Enough is enough

[iCandiBallPythons]

I'm sure bones are more dense than aspen but does that men ball pythons can digest aspen???

The only reason I brought this up in this thread is because I have read of compaction problems on this very site. I just wanted to make sure it was mentioned in this thread considering like 4 people insisted that the OP feed inside his/her enclosure without knowing what the OP was using as substrate.



You mean the very first thread I started here? Yeah I posted that because that is what I was told when I bought my BP and I posted a bunch of links backing up the claim. FYI I don't use UVB bulbs anymore as they eat up her humidity but that doesn't have anything do do with possible compaction!

Damn! All I was trying to do in this thread is warn the OP of possible compaction(which nobody else did) and I get my head bitten off.

I would never bite your head off or hope I wouldnt intentionally try to offend you in anyway, Im a nice guy From my own personal experience I had an incident years ago with loose substrate where a very fine piece somehow became wedged between the teeth and ended up with a sore a couple days later that almost looked like an abscessed tooth , it was such a small splinter it took 2 vet visits and to notice so now I dont use loose substrate at all in my racks, It was prob a one in a million chance that happened but it was enough for me to switch to paper towels, just me personally I would worry about something like that happening versus it being ingested
