Yeah the white band are awesome!





Yep, it's sand. I changed over this season and cannot really see myself going back to wood chips. The wood mites suck; the old chips start to smell; mold is always a problem; humidity is hard to control; cleaning the cage sucks.



OK I obviously am in love with sand. But seriously if the change is not too nerve racking for you I strongly suggest changing. I have noticed better appetites in my snakes, better sheds and just nicer looking scales.



I actually had a zonata that had some infection in his mouth. Now that I have changed to sand AND dosed him with nutri-biotic he is doing perfectly well...after a good shed and brumation of course. haha He's the small one in the picture.



SAND SAND SAND lol
