Question:

What to use when breeding?

I have a one year old male python and pretty soon i plan to breed my snake with a female. My concern is that i want to make my own egg incubator so that when she lays eggs, i already have it set up. My concern is that i see alot of people using vermiculite. But my question is, which stores can i buy this from, and if i cant find the stores, can i use peat moss from the store since its moist?

Answer:

its safer to eat food
No it is not. Why the question? It is not even a plant food. It is not a food of any kind. If a child has swallowed it by accident there should be no negative effects. I am still somewhat confused by this question though.
No. That's too much roughage for a mammalian digestive system. Once probably won't do too much damage, but don't make a habit of it.
If you have been watching tv lately, vermiculite contains asbestos. So, it may not hurt you to eat it, but don't breathe it ! DUH !!!!!!!!!!
