    Re: Again questions.... Dumb questions.

    Some suggested, I believe, Coco Chips?

    And secondly, should I take the background out of my Exo-Terra?
    Like can the BP get stuck behind the background??
    I thought I read up on something like they can get behind the background and possibly get stuck behind it. I mean it looks impossible for them to get behind it so.

    But anyways I know I'm posting alot but I wanna make sure everything is PERFECT before I get the ball python and I know I still have to get some stuff but I just wanna make sure.

    Anyways, Thank you for putting up with my crap everyone. xD

    But literally, thank you for replying and the advice. I really do appreciate all of everyones help.

    If you're using a tank, or even if you aren't, eco-earth substrate, coco chips, husk, or orchid bark are usually recommended. They hold moisture better, which helps to keep your humidity up. Aspen is okay but can be a pain in regards to humidity, which is already kind of a pain to manage with a tank.

    Cover the sides and back of your tank, it will make your bp feel more secure. When I used tanks back in the day, I used black paper. Do not tape it on the inside of the tank. Tape can cause some really nasty and sometimes fatal injuries to a snake.
