Just wanted some opinions. At Petsmart I can buy a bag of the "rodent" aspen for like $4. In the Reptile aisle, they sell the "snake" aspen bedding for about $8+. Even though the snake bedding is more finely shredded than the rodent bedding, would it matter if I just used the rodent bedding?

It's way more cheaper, and not as finely shredded, but the aspen I buy for my rat has absolutely no shards and it's very very soft. It also has A LOT more aspen packed into the rodent bedding than the snake bedding. I have to buy 2-3 bags of the snake bedding to fill up 4 BP tubs (two 15qts, one 34qt, and one 40qt).

Just wondering if it even matters at all. I just bought some at a reptile store for my kingsnake since I switched him back into a 20g and it seems to work just fine.
