I did freeze it for a couple days. I'll see if that works.
Speaking of coconut husks, ever since I spread it in his bin, Sanzo has been really jumpy and acts like the floor is lava. He now seems to opt to climb on decor instead of the floor and he displaced a lot of the fake plants over night from climbing on top of things.
He wouldn't poke his head out of his hide for days. I purposely didn't put any of the husks under his hide because that's where his heat mat is and so he can get a way from the husks. I almost didn't feed him because I wasn't sure he would eat. I decided to try and he took his food fine, but I haven't been handling him because now when I touch him he literally jumps. He doesn't strike or ball up, just twitches violently like a person when tapped on the shoulder. When I fed him he climbed on top of his log instead of staying on the floor which is unusual.
Is it normal for a ball python to be freaked out when you give them new substrate? He had been on paper towel his whole short life before I switched it out.
