Hey everyone,
Well, I have rescued yet another snake, this time it is a Rosy Boa. My question is this: What is the best substrate I should use for this little guy? The previous owner had it on Calci Sand, but I looked up a care sheet on the web and they suggest Aspen Mulch. They also say to stay away from indoor/outdoor carpet. I just want the best substrate for the guy. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, especially if anyone has one of these beauty's!!
I rescued him because the last guy that owned it just dropped it off at a pet store that I frequent and they didn't want it. It apparently won't eat on it's own and was being force fed for the past 2 months. It looks to be in great shape, active, no scars/wounds, and it is only about 14 inches long. Not sure on the sex. I will get some pics of it up as soon as I can get my hands on a digi cam again.
Thanks in advance.
Jeff
