Carpet As Substrate??

[ballpythonsrock2]

I really wouldn't use carpet, not even reptile carpet. It would just get nasty when the snake pees and poops and be a breeding ground for bacteria. There are other good substrates out there that can help you achieve the proper humidity for your snake. It is initially your snake and your call, but I personally wouldn't do it.

I appreciate this good advice answer delivered in a very non-hostile way with respect for the person asking. I think it is a good example for us. I know some people on here can be bull headed and get the ones who have a lot more experience frustrated or even angry. People who have been on here a long time can get tired of the same ole "ignorant ideas" repeatedly asked but most of these ideas are started by the Pet Industry that is the breeding ground for all or most of it. They are going to continue to teach their bad ideas. We can't really blame the people starting out keeping snakes for them. That is why those with a LOT more experience should try to be like ballpythonluvr was here and say it is your call but this is how we feel. My mom always told me you catch more flies with honey then vinegar. And you can lead a snake to water but you can't make them drink. The mission of this website is to inform with the truth as we know it to be, share idea's, opinions, and experiences. So good going ballpythonluvr.
