    Ball pythons don't really need baths unless they decide to paint the tank after going potty or to help remove mites. I'm not sure where you heard that.

    And congratulations on your new addition. If you really want to keep him in a living Viv yoi can use a base layer of Eco Earth with about 2" of Cypress mulch on top of it. I have had living Vivs setup for my Macklot's Pythons in the past. It looked pretty cool until the flattened all the vegetation. Plus it's a pain to keep clean without introducing a colony of Springtails. The last straw was when I moved on of their basking rocks to find a budding colony of Sugar Ants.

    Now I exclusively use Aspen for all my snakes.
