    I'll copy this and send it to her, I don't know what they use but she tells me it smells to high heaven in her daughters room.

    Thanks!

    Oops Pax I think the stuff I use is actually Corn Cob. Here's a link with a picture so your friend can see the sort of stuff it is. I buy mine from a local serpentarium.

    Thanks again. I know she really wants to keep her snake but her folks are getting fed up with the smell, hopefully this will help.

    I hope it helps. When I first got my snake I just used newspaper to line the bottom of the tank and I never had smells with that either. It's a cheap alternative.
