Thanks to all for your responses. I really appreciate them…..



My goal is not to sue or try and get money back. Instead, I just want people to realize that the product Cell-Sorb Plus® should not be considered as a substrate for use with Gray-banded Kingsnakes or Sonora Mountain Kingsnakes. Anything that will spread this information is totally acceptable with me, so Mike, go ahead and let your the Long Island Herp Society know.



Colin: below is an image of the substrate….it is the substance at the left….followed by paper towels and CareFresh®. The product is similar to Yesterday News®, which is recycled newspaper.





Finally, I want to point out that it is Cell Sorb Plus®, not just Cell Sorb, that I used. Apparently, the company decided to add gypsum to their product. This gypsum may have caused the problems….
