Grass from the garden

I'm sure someone will come back with a sensible answer, but I never have in-case I introduce loads of bugs, mites, micro organisms, bacteria etc.
in the tank it is too easy to get to optimal breeding temp, and its all held in tank.. in the wild, tyou would get frozen areas, too damp too dry etc which keep it under control, and the snake can move away etc...
just personal opinion though, no facts really

That was a sensible answer.

most bacteria and organisms found in your yard are beneficial, with a large bio active setup, you don't even have to clean up any snake poop, because it breaks down quickly.

No worries.

I have a bio active cage set up, and it's awesome.

Now that Neeru my baby water snake has decided to take food off the hemostats for me, I am going to set him up on soil also, no chance of aspen sticking to his fish that way.
