Thanks guys! Wow! I will change it then. I recently looked under my hidebox (a log thing) and there was mold (NOT GOOD, getting a new hidebox), but not under the other wooden thing, but i think that IS aspen.Originally Posted by icygirl
Congratulations!!The fact that he's eating is always a good sign.
Just so everyone else is aware, the BP.net caresheet DOES list "coconut-husk based substrates" (e.g., Eco-Earth) as a safe substrate to use. However, I'd still probably switch it out - the stuff does tend to stick to prey items pretty easily, and it also makes noticing poops/urine/urates much more difficult.
You can use newspaper or paper towels, OR if you are looking for something nicer looking, go for aspen shavings (you can find this in the reptile section of most pet stores). It's attractive and safe, and it's very easy to tell when aspen is soiled or wet so you can change it faster.
