    Hemp Bedding

    Has anyone used hemp before? Is it better/worse than aspen. I cant seem to find aspen in stores anywere in metro detroit for the last couple weeks. Just wondering if Hemp would make a good alternate. THanks

    Why not just use newspaper. Or even cypress bark.

    I thought about using hemp for bedding, but then there were all these young slackers hanging out in my snake room. It was a bad scene.

    For what it's worth... hemp is a totally different strain than the cannibus sativa that we love to smoke oh-so-much. There's no THC in hemp, it's not going to give anyone the munchies. I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine for bedding. Let us know what it does for your humidity levels!

    Re: Hemp Bedding

    Well, I finished my custom lid last night and the humidity this morning was through the roof! around 75% or so!!! Must drill some more holes in the lid. I suppose that too high humidity is ok for a little while until i get everything perfect. I like the hemp bedding a lot. It looks nice and i get much more even temps than i did with carefresh.
