Was it the fact that it was 13 pages long that made you think that there was a slanging match in there somewhere? 
We did discuss that substrate on the monitors and tegus thread. I think that general concensus was to wait and see what happens. |

| Probably not. I can't see any problems with it really, apart from the look of it, I've always preferred Aspen, but it could save some money in the long run. |

i saw that thread on the dark side but could not be bothered to read through all the crap...lol
as it is rubber, would i be right in thinking that it does not absorb any moisture?
i dont think i would use it, am happy with my kitchen roll..lol

so basically then any wee would sink to the bottom and not be seen until it is cleaned out or it started to smell? |

| I don't see a problem with it if you use something like kitchen roll underneath as it says in the post (yes i read it all lol). I use orchid bark so if it works out to be more economical & if there's a way to get rid of/minimise the smell, I'll be getting some. |

I think Id rather have the peace of mind knowing that my snake always has nice clean fresh substrate. I also think that loads of tiny wee bits of rubber would be quite time consuming and difficult to clean properly and would start to deteriorate after a good few cleans.
Now who wants to fight about it?

then your asking for a bacteria build up by putting kitchen roll underneath it surely? |

| What I mean is with royals for example, change the kitchen roll on say a weekly basis & take out the rubbstrate monthly & wash it as BE says in the washing machine on a low temp without detergent. |

| Surely you would have to take the rubbstrate out to change the kitchen roll. Plus rubber deteriorates with constant heat so how long is it going to last. |
