I know that cedar mulch/bedding is toxic but does anyone have a tank with a ball python or other snake and a piece of cedar drift wood in it? Or can someone please stop me before I put it into a tank with my Ball!!!

thanks

Again .. Cedar is toxic to all reptiles and will eventually kill them !!

Don't use cedar .. period !!

There are many other substrates out there that are nice looking and affordable. Aspen, spagnum moss ( if you need good humidity ) newspaper, paper towels ( for babies or juveniles ).
