What is the best bedding you guys are using. I am using some wood bedding. Not sure if I should use a moist hide. Or swith over to Sphagnum moss, Peat or some mulch. Thanks

So, just was cruising the net and saw the albino black Russian, the albino stripe, and the snow stripe. Amazing all, but begs the question what else are you hiding? (Besides the mystery morph.)

cypress mulch, orchid bark, coconut fiber/coir fiber bedding.

>>cypress mulch, orchid bark, coconut fiber/coir fiber bedding.

Thanks the shavings just seems really dry and was wondering about a moist hide. Orchid bark sounds like a great idea.

It is interested that the amel still has the obscuring of the dorsal pattern even in the absence of melanin. I wouldn't have expected that. I would think an amel nogairorum would look like a normal miliaris (but albino). Cool.

The albino is interesting to be sure but his normal nogaiorum are the blackest I have ever seen! That is one good looking snake.

I agree, for me the albino is interesting but the normal blacks are the real jewels!
