Uh, actually, I don't think I did say that. Perhaps someone else mentioned it and you thought it was me? Now, I don't think there's any problem really with Reptibark, but I would recommend some other choices before that. If you're concerned about asthetics, I would suggest cypress shavings. This is softer than reptibark and holds humidity really well. I've used it with my BPs for years.

Also, just don't leave a LIVE rat in overnight with your snakes (or for any length of time unattended). I only leave f/t rodents in the tubs. Just wanted that to be clear.
