I have noticed its messy, but that doesn't bother me.



The dehydration issue is interesting, I hadn't thought of that. I keep it pretty consistently hydrated, but it's good to be aware of.



The first reply makes an interesting point about skin differences. I happen to keep a ball python and a mexican black kingsnake. Both are suited quite well for it. Since switching to it, I've had the best sheds I've ever seen. Still, I guess the lesson is that, there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to substrates.
