Substrate for feeding in cage

[Sita]

You could also lay a piece of newspaper down and feed on top of that.

Paper towel would also work. And no, snake don't have the impaction issues lizards do. After all, it's not like they can wipe off thier food before they swallow it in nature. As someone already said, the only issue would be if the chunks were so large that they couldn't pass them, as in a piece of something bigger than your snakes poop.

Spraying the substrate once a day will be enough?

That will probably be fine, just don't go crazy with it. Depending on where you live and how you have your cage setup you will probably beed to mist once a day to keep the cage humidity in the proper range. Do you have a hygrometer?

Thats what ill do for now but using paper towels

I choose paper towels because i realized that i dont have the coconut fiber amount to fill a 20 gal tank, but i will get some more by tomorrow.

Yes, my higrometer is one of those with gauge. I have heard that those are inaccurate, but i made a test (water and salt) with it and it just miss by 3-5%. I try to keep humidity on 50%-60% but i rise to 65%-70% it when my snake is shedding.

I use eco earth in some of my cages for ball pythons, geckos and frogs. I'm actually in the process of switching all the ball python tubs over to it now to help with humidity. The biggest problem with it is yes it does stick to the rodents, especially if you use water to preheat them before you feed. I find that a lot less of it sticks to them though if you keep your rodents dry and use a hair dryer instead of water to preheat. They'll still ingest some but it's fine. They actually recommend coco fiber for frog enclosures because it's pretty easy to digest if they miss their bugs and get a mouthful of it.
