ReptiChip vs. Reptile Prime Size Comparison

[zina10]

Nice. Might have to do that. I sent Reptichip an email asking when they might get it back in stock. Also priced 10 bags of Zoo Med Cypress as i think it is time for a change for everyone lol. I like changing up the substrate type every 4-5 changes as it gives me something new to look at it. And for the most part, the snakes seem to get some form of enrichment from it as they investigate it, dig in it and overall look fairly curious. Then after a few weeks, they are no longer excited and sit there again wondering when dinner is coming haha.

And the price is almost the same as Reptile Prime but with free shipping which means 10 24 qt bags would run me $135.

And dont get a retic if you want everything perfect haha. They are the masters at ruining what you made perfect in record time. I used to try and get Caesars cage all nice and pretty. Then within a day, he would have it wrecked haha. Now i dont usually even bother fixing his stuff. i just push him aside when i have to clean a poop or piss and he is sitting on it. We have our shoving matches if its the day as he wants to sleep and i want clean the giant turd he is sleeping on or next to lol.

I do appreciate a nice and perfect cage, but even Ball Pythons like to wreck everything! LOL

What I mean is that I'm a stickler in making things easier and more practical. I have nice latches at the barn that close the gate behind me if I simply nudge it closed. I have a ton of shelves and hooks to keep things organized. Whenever I have to take care of my friends horse her setup drives me crazy. It takes me way longer simply because she uses chains with hooks and snaps and nothing is real practical. It makes doing those chores take so much longer.

At home, I enjoy that cleaning the cages is now so quick and effortless. I can keep it spotless and smelling fresh quickly and without going through a lot of substrate. Before I used to drag a garbage lined waste basket with me while cleaning cages, filling it with soiled, stinky or wet aspen. (lets not talk about smell, ew)

I like things that make work and chores easier and more time efficient.

Geez, I'm having the hardest time explaining myself, perhaps if I typed it out in German it may come across better, haha.
