Haha, good idea about weighing the larger ones. I'll have to keep that in mind.Originally Posted by jmcrook
lol I just haven't mixed up new coco husk for him since I had he and Phyllis on paper when her mouth was healing. He also pees such a little amount so frequently that I wanted to clearly see when he needed a cleaning and not let his cage get too filthy, kinda hard to tell when he's on mulch. I may actually switch to aspen since the humidity is higher in Mississippi and keeps their cages at a perfect 65% even with paper substrate.
As far as weighing him, he sits perfectly still in his sky hide when I take it out. I just weigh his other empty hide, tare the scale, and then put him in his sky hide on the scale. Works like a charm. Phyllis however... I have to weigh myself on the bathroom scale and then pick her up and see the difference. She's like 13lbs now.

And as for the peeing, Caesar is the same way which is why Reptichips didnt work well for him. He didnt always pee urates so finding a pee sucked. Aspen works so much better in his case. And yeah, even here in Washington State, aspen keeps everyone around 65-70% which works fine for them. You read these things of people saying boas and retics need high humidity and high temps but what i've found is my snakes all seem to enjoy the temps around 77-80F and humidity around 65-75%. Anything higher with each and they start pushing and trying to get out.
