Hey, I tried to use carpet as well but being that the kingsnakes like to burrow, I would constantly find mine under the carpet smashed against the glass... I tried to place heavier plants or better hides on top of the carpet but it wasn't enough he would still go under... finally had to just put Douglas Fir Bark in the cage; oddly now that i gave him something to burrow in.. he uses the hides...

My juvie milks would always go under the carpet. I finally switched to newspaper. I figured if they want to burrow, I would at least use something disposable. They burrow to feel secure. Don't fight it.
