    with rat snakes burying under the substrate either, though a hatchling might if the hides aren't adequate. You can spot-clean this way, & also easily roll up the
    whole substrate when the need arises to clean. (you could use all paper shreds too, if you like- Carefresh is hygroscopic & good for desert snakes especially,
    but it's not essential...our houses are heated in winter & that removes a lot of humidity anyway, along with the UTH/etc)
    Thank you! I've just got paper towels down for now while she's in quarantine, I think I'll definitely add carefresh after a while because I already have it on hand
    It's already so weird having a snake that's fine with room temp, I keep having to remind myself that she's not gonna get too cold like this lol
