I keep Tina (ball python) on cypress because she goes pretty long between taking a piss or poop. However I keep Gene (retic) on paper towel because he pisses every day. Only day he doesn’t pee is post feeding day. Looking to making the T8 as a very visually appeasing enclosure and figured I’d go back to a natural substrate. Have you found any issues with the amount that they pee with your substrate both with sent and mold? How often do you do a full change out of substrate verse just spot cleaning?

Thanks,

I've currently got her on coco husk mulch/reptichip. Does a great job of minimizing odors and super absorbent too. Holds humidity well also. Phyllis also likes to pee, a lot. Generally every 2-3 days. I spot clean as needed and do a full clean out every 2 months give or take depending on how things are looking. Never had any mold issues with reptichip or cypress mulch when I used to use it.
What % dwarf is your retic? It will probably out grow a T8 in short order unless it has some super dwarf blood in it as well. Phyllis has been in hers, without a divider, since September and could probably use at least more height at this point but I'm holding off to see if she's really going to need a T25 6'x2.5'x1.5' or is she can get by in a T13 4'x2.5'x1.5' when she's due for an enclosure upgrade.
