OMG - somebody please tell my thousand plus outdoor snakes, Please stop crawling on the ground, they may injure themselves.

How much aspen would it take to cover my 40 acres with a safe substrate?

When I first started keeping wild caught snakes I tried to simulate their natural surroundings, so I used river sand, stones, dirt, grass, fall leaves, whatever & no problems.

Over time little things from Wal Mart started jumping into the tank, Glass sea shells, colored gravel & ceramic sculptures.

Never had any problems..... The "neon volcano" was only $2 at wally world, and the snakes love it.

Peace,
Wayne A. Harvey
