Snakes don't encounter newspaper in the wild and yet they do just fine on that too....

>>I asked my neighbor is I could use a soil/ sand/ peat shpagnum mix for a substrate in my Gaboons planted vivarium. he said no sand because in the wild the snae does not encounter it. That didn't make sense to me but what do you guys think?
