As we are getting started in the world of snakes, we were told to not worry about completely cleaning an enclosure just for the reason you mentioned….familiarity. While we clean up all solid waste, if we see a dried spot, we don’t necessarily rush to clean it up, we want to leave some of the snake’s smells where it’s at. So they know it’s their spot, and they feel safe there.Originally Posted by Bogertophis
Not sure what to tell you about the moss- when you say you rinsed it with "treated water", what do you mean? It obviously smells different (unfamiliar?) to her now- maybe it's too clean?
Anyway, this is your first snake- keep observing her- she knows what she's doing & likely has "her reasons".
