Coco-fiber for a snake?

[Gourami Swami]

Hello, I plan on getting some kind of snake (Possibly a Cali. King or a corn) in a couple weeks, and I have a 10-g critter keeper tank set up already with coco-soft substrate and I was wondering if this substrate can have an adverse affect? I know peat moss, etc. are bad, but the coco stuff is supposed to be digestable, am i right?

Im asking here because ALL substrate says "digestable" on the container

The coconut fiber substrate will be fine... coconut fiber substrate really shines though in it's ability to hold moisture, for snakes that require a high humidity. But for a cal king or a corn, aspen would be just as good. Just don't get an oily wood substrate (like pine or cedar) as the oils are toxic to snakes. A 10g will be good for a young snake, but as it grows it will need a substantially larger enclosure.

and if you feed your snake outside the tank, then theres no chance it will ingest a substrate at feeding time anyway.

I have a Sterilite bin set aside just for feeding time.
