    If you plan on going snake you don't want a moist substrate or you'll end up with scale rot or much worse.

    Springtail & pillbugs are AWESOME as tank cleaners as Bill said.

    Garters do not eat bugs, the exoskeleton will cause impaction & red wriggles are toxic to them also. Research your snakes carefully.

    IMO you need to pick your new friend then do the housing according to species. This way you & new found friend can develop a long and happy relationship together.

    That's cool. I have 3 Garters (Thamnophis) and they are some of my best friends.
