    Couple More Questions

    Okay, my normal male bp will be here today! Repti-Bark is okay for them right? and I also did some wood burning on some hides, and even after about a week it still gives an aroma of burnt wood, will this hurt the snake do you think?

    Repti-bark is safe but I've heard it is a bit dusty but I've never used it. Y did u choose wood hides? U can use them but it won't be as easy to clean and won't last as long as the fake rock or plastic ones. Try washing them with soap and water.

    I went to the Dollar Tree and bought the package of three plastic bowls and just cut an opening in them and my BPs love 'em.

    I chose wood because they looked cool lol. I have put sealer on them so they wont be as bad. I just think plastic hides look trashy, I know its a lot easier but I want it to look good.

    Re: Couple More Questions

    ive used repti-bark in the past and it is quite dusty, but i switched to eco-earth (the coconut stuff) and its way easier. and for the wood hut, i soak mine in about a 5% bleach solution, dry it out, then soak it in normal water, then dry it again in the oven (just dont go more than like 2-250), and as for the burnt smell im not sure... why did you burn it?

    I have pics of it in my new thread (hes here....finally). I used a wood burner and made designs on it. He wont fit in it for long so I dotn have to worry about it lasting a long time.

    if you have any sealer left, spray a couple coats of that over it, that should work
