I was wondering what you guys over there use as substrate In the past, I have used cage bird sand for both Rough Scaled and Javelins,however it is heavy and also easily ingested especially if the prey item is a little wet. I mention it is heavy as I keep all my sand boas on a rack system. I have tried Aspen,but I find it dusty and again there are ingestion issues when feeding.
At present I use newspaper,they are thriving and eating well although I sometimes have a sloughing issue. I was considering a moss box as I have used these on many Colubrids and never had any issues.

By the way.geat site with some usefull info. Here in the UK sand boas do not seem to have reached the populatity as over with you.

Regards

John
