I agree, plus the reptile carpet or indoor outdoor carpet from the hardware store will cause irritations on the snakes belly , it will cause a "pink" look much like you see when a ball is going into shed mode, this red/pink can and will eventually cause infection so I would not recommend using any of those carpets, EVEN if it says it's safe for snakes, it is not , ask any good vet and he will hell you the same thing! Newpapers, paper towels, Aspen , etc, are a much safer substrate for them... Anthony McCain-McCain's Reptiles...
