Cypress mulch in the water

[NennaMeerkat]

The way snakes drink is different fron a lizard or other animals. They kind of just put the end of their snout into the water and suck...having their mouths barely open in the process. The mulch you are using has to be really really small to get sucked up into their mouth. I think you will be okay.

Here is a good side view picture that shows the snake barely opens its mouth

Awwww cute ok well that has eased my worries but all this being constructive stuff has made me think... I think I am gonna make a small "rack" and by rack I mean three rubbermaids side by side with one piece of 4'x11" flexwatt. This will make maintaining temps easier and I need to move up my BP enclosure anyways and it will free up one of my tanks for a new pet ( I know just excuses :P)
