Not Shedding??

[Light of Dae]

ok. So I shall remove shavings, and return the bag (gotta love Walmart) Which shaving are ok? I've heard aspen is good, haven't found any yet though, what else is ok to use?

Doubled in size is right, she was only about 4-5 inches n now shes about a foot long. No shed.

Shavings - Aspen. Its safe, but NOT SAFE TO INGEST. I don't reccommend it if you feed him in his cage.

I use ReptiBark... It's more expensive, found at pet stores, but it's too big to be swallowed, and looks awesome!

You can see it here next to my pretty little snake.

hmmm, might have to get some. How would you clean it? or would you just take out dirty stuff n add new?

[RedSidedSPR]

I spit clean it every time I see it. The babies poops so small I nustbhave to pick out one or two chunks. It's usually just a white spot on the chunk. But now that they're bigger I usually have to take out several at a time.

I just use my hands. It lasts me a long time, I have 3 babies in one cage with this stiff and have only had to change it completely once! Because I clean it like that, everytimeni see it. Stay on top of that and it will last.

Also that picture shows reptile carpet, anther option, although I just use it as a liner now, it's covered completely now. I hated trying clean it. 4 babies pooping on it all day,... you'd be surprised how hard it was. It only lasted a week.

Well I bought some aspen shavings after looking at reptile bark.. I love the look of the bark but seeing as I just moved n am little short cashed I wasn't about to pay 50bucks for bark, aspen was only 7bucks. lol So I will just keep feeding her outside of her tank. :P that does remind me though I need to buy more pinkies n a small fish tank n guppies! Half the worms I had in the fridge got uh lol frozen. SOMEONE (being my unknowing fiance) had pushed them to the back of the fridge. lol oops. Oh and I need to find a heating pad, mine quit working... grr.

$50?!? You're joking right? It's not THAT expensive... I get it at Petsmart for $12.....

[Light of Dae]

Not even kidding. I'll have to keep n eye out for a petsmart n cheaper bark... had the thought to buy the bark you put in your garden (12bucks for big big bag), but wasn't sure if it would be safe or not.

[RedSidedSPR]

I wouldn't.

You can't let them get away with that!! $50 is downright wrong. You need to tell them that, they'll at least price match petsmart.

You can't charge $50 for a bag of substrate. that ain't right.

[Light of Dae]

Oh I know, its ******** n I told the lady that after I asked her if the price was marked correctly. I laughed in her face. It is a small family owned n operated store, they did however have some nice looking reptiles, frilled lizard, corn snakes for around 30-70bucks n their pet, red tailed boa <<Big girl... needs a bigger tank though..

[RedSidedSPR]

$50. Jeez. Pure freakin' wrong.

Check it out. Petsmart:
Zoo Med Repti Bark - Reptile - Sale Category - PetSmart

And look. PetCo is even cheaper. Here's the thing, I don't shop at that animal abusive place. But when I say to petsmart "can you price match?" they say "sure!" so I get it at petsmart, of the price of PetCo. IN YOUR FACE DOUCHE BAGS!!!
