Nice snake, but is it on ceder? If so you probably want to switch subtrates ASAP b/c cedar can be toxic to reptiles. Newpaper works wonderfully. Good luck with h(im)(er). -Joe D.

P.S. I don't remember how to spell cedar...or ceder..

Thanks for the concern, but I don't use Cedar on any of my animals!

She's great. I like the normals, and she looks cute. I agree with the other poster about the substrate warning. Cedar is considered very bad for snakes. I like Repti-bark, but most people seem to use aspen. I don't have much experience, so I'd recommend following their lead instead of mine.

It's not how many snakes you have. It's how happy and healthy you can keep them.

Nice snake I especially like how the pattern looks like dots along the spine.

I think the bedding is actually aspen chips, not cedar. Cedar tends to be reddish in color. But I deffinitely agree to the warning about using Cedar or pine shavings as a substrate for any snake (actually cedar shouldn't be used for anything other than making your wardrobe smell nice)
