BP Substrate on food

[Joshyboy]

It will be fine.

I use a mixture of Eco Earth, Forest Floor Cypress Mulch, and Repti Bark. I feed my rats soaking wet and have never had an issue.

The only thing I didn't like about Eco Earth alone was with snakes that dig and burrow it gets stuck it there pits which I didn't like. That's why I started mixed the other two kinds and making my own special blend. It has all the benefits but none of the problems.

I feed the same way except with aspen. I was worried of getting a few pieces on the mice but my snakes had no problem. I had read articles of eco earth in large quantities being harmful, like a mouthful if the snake misses a strike, but other than that it should be fine. Especially in other reptiles that eat prey from the ground like leopard geckos or bearded dragons (many people use eco earth dry to let them dig and burrow) When I used eco earth I played it safe and put the snake on top of a piece of card board when they coiled around the mouse just in case.
