Baby Blood's First Feeding!

Becareful when you feed on substrate like yours.

if too much of it gets inside of your snake it will cause impaction and which leads to death so feed in a seperate area or change your substrate to newspaper.

It's amazing that any of these snakes lived long enough in the wild for us to keep them in captivity.

I keep all my snakes on cypress, and they all feed on the cypress. The balls eat live, the short tails and boas eat pre-killed or frozen/thawed. You'd be surprised at how talented they are when it comes to removing substrate from their mouths.

The main reason I can see for using newspaper/kraft paper on the bigger species is because it's more cost effective. It gets pretty expensive filling a 2' x 4' area with new cypress every month or so. Although in my opinion, the benefits out weigh the cost. It's just a pain to keep the humidity up when you're using paper for the substrate. Plus cypress just looks so much nicer!
