What are ya'll using for egg laying substrate?



I just use the pine shavings. I dampen them a little and it works fine.



I used egg laying boxes and no matter how close I get to putting them into the cage before laying they take a giant dump in them. Then they proceed to lay under the plastic egg laying box. I guess that tells me what they think of my egg laying boxes.



Also do any of you use peat moss? My snakes seem to hate it and get all frenzied when i put it in their cage. I think i had some go crazy being covered in this stuff and cuased them to retain their eggs longer. My snakes despise the stuff unless I mix it with something else.
