Like I said you need to let the brick sit in warm water then make sure its all loose then let it dry out some so it's not wet when you put it in the cage. Thats a ggreat way of getting mold and getting your snake sick.
I expand bricks as I need them, and it goes straight in the tub as soon as I can break it apart. I have had zero mold issues so long as I provide a top layer of cypress mulch. I always buy the bricks, why? Do the math bud, you come out getting twice the substrate for almost half the price of the bag.
