This comment is a huge pet peeve of mine. They're NOT in the wild, dammit. They're in a controlled enviroment... with controlled temps, and controlled feeding.
I mean I suppose we can not provide heat and just throw some dirt in there for substrate, and never clean the poop (cause they don't clean up after themselves in the wild)... but you get my point.
We do not use cedar because it's toxic to snakes. We (most of us) feed F/T instead of live because it's safer for the snakes well being. They don't have that choice in the wild. We do it to keep them safe, so why would we take the chance an accidental injestion of a substrate that might do them harm?
Always feed on paper towel, or simply just in a plastic box (something you can wash to prevent bacteria growth).
Now repeat after me. CAP-TI-VI-TEEEE. lol
That is all.
