>>I have been using non-fertilized potting soil as a substrate for my black rat snake and corn snake. I was wondering if that is good and is spanish moss a good substrate?

I like 'dirt' for some animals and while I don't prefer it for most of my snakes I think it is better than most substrates. At least if they ingest much it won't kill them. Same with moss. Though moss is better for not putting fine dust everywhere when it dries out. And I think with tiny snakes it is safer against being ingested. My vet dislikes wood (yes, even aspen) because he has seen babies dead or dying from eating even a small piece of it.
