sorry for yet another post, but I really would like some info with some personal experience from you guys and gals on the "best" substrate for my application. My recent run in with eco carpet scared me so bad I decided to put newspaper in the tank, and truthfully I can't stand it, it just looks tacky. I've always heard to stay away from particulate substrates since I feed in the snakes enclosure, but I really love the natural look. Can anyone help me put? I know people use aspen, cypress, coconut, reptile bark, etc. Is there any of them that I wouldn't have to worry about health problems from? I love the look of the eco earth ground coconut, but I worry about impaction, vents being clogged, and possible respiratory infections from breathing the coconut dust. It may be a simple issue and I'm just being too picky, but it's gotten very frustrating trying to give loki a perfect enclosure, only to fall apart on the substrate. Anyone have ideas/info?
