    Burrow-able non-allergic bedding for a corn?
    I know my corn snake loves to burrow but I had her on paper towels for a few weeks because my nose cannot handle aspen well. I replaced her paper towels today and she seemed, as far as a snake goes, clearly upset about her lack of burrowing ability.

    So I caved and gave her aspen again but my nose is dying as I type this. Is there any bedding I can give her that she can burrow in and won't destroy me when I rustle it around?

    aspen sani chips might be better for your nose. I have a pueblan milk snake on the stuff. There doesn't seem to be the saw dust and tree dander that comes with any sort of shredded or shaved aspen.

    Reptibark
    cypress mulch
    eco earth(ground coconut husk)- people do use this, but I didn't care for it.

    Is the aspen sani chips the "Lizard Litter" I see at petsmart/petco? It kinda looks like that, anyway. It's the looser stuff, right?

    I've never heard of using reptibark for corns, it seems like she wouldn't be able to burrow very well in that stuff.

    Thanks for the response! I definitely don't want to go the mulch or eco earth route, that stuff is too intense.

    Oh yeah, I used to get that stuff for my mice. I will definitely look into this, it looks like it's just paper pulp or something that was dried. :)

    Thanks!

    Yes to answer your lizard litter question. I've seen it labeled for snakes as well.

    I've seen corns on reptibark and burrow in it. It seems a little tough to burrow into IMO, but they manage just fine.

    I've seen people use it at shows and guess it's fine for snakes right? I've thought about using it, but was always weary about the dust content.

    Thanks for all your help guys. I ended up getting something similar to care fresh but its the consistency of shredded soft tissues. Its thinner and less clumpy. I also replaced her glass with a tub while I was at it because I hate glass and I'm a weakling.

    Might need to drill more holes but I think she's good for now.
