Rembrandt - Nicaraguan Boa (first snake!)

[jmcrook]

Thank you!! Lovely to meet a fellow art enthusiast I'm just mostly very uncreative with naming, so I picked an easy theme and stuck with it, haha (my also-recently acquired cat is Caspar after Caspar David Friedrich).

You're right, I'm currently using cypress mulch, and I did wonder how I'm supposed to find poop and such in there. I've been trying my best to look for any bathroom activity but I could easily have missed something. So would you recommend switching to paper towel or newspaper until he puts on more size?

Also, does poop/pee smell very much at this size? I thought I'd be able to tell if there was any bathroom activity by smell but I'm not sure about that any more either.

I might have found a poop a few days after I got him (3 weeks ago) - there was a little brown thing that I thought smelled funny so I took it out but honestly I'm not sure.

It probably won’t smell too much with cypress mulch. I’ve got my 3 month old bcc on plain white paper for quarantine purposes right now and it stinks a little when he goes #2. It’s a remarkably tiny poop though hah! Almost wouldn’t notice if it didn’t leave a stain on the paper. I’ve gotten used to cleaning up retic poop which I can sometimes smell before I even walk into the snake room
