OK, I've got my foot in my mouth because of my window/cage comments to a science teacher. LOL! You're a good sport for not taking offense.



Substrate:

Sorry, forgot to say something about that. Unless they're show cages, displays, I'm partial to plain ol' newspaper, 3 - 4 layers. Inexpensive, easy to fold to size & lay in, and non-harzardous.



One issue you may have with newspaper is ink stains on the cage floor. But it's always going to be covered up with something anyway, isn't it? Especially considering your burmese's condition, you'll want something quick, easy & inexpensive to change out.



Some people use aspen bedding and it can help retain humidity. Honestly, I rarely ever hear of any problems with reptiles swallowing any of it while eating, but, to me, the potential is there. I've used it before and never had any problems, but I was always conscious of the potential and a bit worriesome over it.



Flip a coin maybe? Ha! Ha!



Catch ya later!
