Its all good I will look into cypress and see what it will run me for the cages and I agree to never leave a snake unattended with a live prey I hated that the boas where on live when I got them but I offered their first meal with me live since its what they where use to and then made the switch to f/t by the third meal now they take f/t like a champ and nothing much over room temp is needed I thaw room temp then put in a sealed Tupperware container near the light on top of the cage for 20-30 mins and then offer it being in oil country anything that doesn't have to go into the city water that smells of bleach on its best day and pure rotten eggs on its worst is best for meOriginally Posted by Evenstar
Haahahha! Yea, sorry for the confusion - I misread that! I think cypress mulch is not that forest floor stuff. The forest floor is finer and if I remember correctly, I tried it once and hated it - seemed very dirty. The cypress mulch is just like garden mulch (don't use garden mulch - it only looks the same, but its not really the same stuff). Some of the pieces seem big, but it really is softer than it looks. My balls did great on it for a long time and it was easy to clean. A lot of people use cypress mulch - it is a very good substrate.
Just wanted to be clear about the rats - not just with you, but for anyone else who might read the thread.
