Overly sterile enclosures don't have any bacteria, good or bad and an animal that doesn't experience any type of bacteria doesn't have anything in the immune system to deal with potential issues.

I'm not saying make your cage a living dump, but there are some natural organisms that benefit snakes and other animals and it is completely healthy to keep that immune system working and developing, in your care the live plants are a great idea. Some use bioactive soil that will eventually break down waste.

That is another topic altogether.

I am so glad that you touched on this Gio!

I’ve held my tongue for years. There are a lot of folks here, some are OCD types, that think a snake’s enclosure must be equivalent to an operating room.

If that were the case they wouldn’t have lasted anywhere near the thousands of years that they have.
