A question about a substrate I found out about.

Seems to be a very low-maintenance (once set up), enriching bedding. Doesn't really seem to be a big risk for bacterial infections, though, especially if everything is running smoothly. pH, nitrate, etc. levels are all monitored closely.

I've talked with several people, and they say their snakes (not just BPs) showed increased basking behavior - not necessarily elevated activity, they would just come out and bask under UVB light, when they wouldn't do the same with a regular light bulb. Increased skin health, etc. It also seems kinda nice to not have to pick up after them other than a particularly big poop, and if live plants and real wood is used to make naturalistic set ups they look very nice, too.
