Soil for live plants?

[Sauzo]

Hey guys, actually have the same question lol. Was gonna use some peat moss I have lying around that I used to use for my BRB, and just rinse off the plant and roots really well before repotting in the peat moss and putting in the cage. Any thoughts on that?

Depends on the plant. From a snake perspective, peat moss isnt going to hurt the snake as long as there are no fertilizers or pesticides in it. Generally, i would avoid anything with the "Scotts" name on it. Seems they like to put fertilizers and stuff in all their products, or so it seems.

I actually got into talking to a few of the nursery people about animal safe plants and soil and liquid fertilizers etc. When i told them it for snake cages, they spent more time asking me about all my snakes while I'm trying to figure out whats safe for them in plants and stuff lol. Was kind of funny.

It's kind of funny how when you mention snakes to a lot of people when you are looking for stuff in hardware or nursery or anything stores like that, most people are really curious about the snakes and arent all grossed out or judgmental.
