critter care paper bedding

would critter care multicolored paper bedding be okay for baby ball pythons ? or adults ? i have a bag of it . i usually use paper towels but its pretty neat looking and if its safe it'll make my tanks looks a lil cooler lol i usually dont use any bedding besides paper towels because i dont like seeing my snakes eat bedding that sticks to the rats as they are eating them

i've seen vendors use this at a reptile show in deli cups and display cases. so it seems fine, but I'm not sure about long term use.

yea im worried about the long term use .

I would imagine the biggest problem one would have with that bedding would be mold, but I've never used it (for any animal in general), so I am not an authority.

I've only used this for a pet rabbit. I have heard people say the coconut fiber i use is messy, which i disagree with, but i think this is even worse. Also as was said i would worry about it molding.

My daughters used it for their hamsters. It was terribly messy. It got everywhere and molds to easy for long term use. I keep my BP on aspen bedding. They do great on it.

I've used similar paper bedding products for my snakes before, as with my gerbils. Only I prefer stuff that isn't dyed or loaded with dust. It's soft and decomposable, so even though I try my best to avoid my animals digesting any, I'd feel better about them accidentally swallowing a piece of the natural paper bedding than hard wooden flakes that could splinter them.

I use it permanently. It doesn't mold, unless you plan on leaving it submerged in water 24/7. It's not dusty at all, and when soaked it breaks down like toilet paper, not like mouthfuls of wood splinters or dirt. I have it mixed in with the spaghum moss in the humid hide, and I literally dump water on it and it doesn't mold. All I do is fluff it up every 3 or so weeks because it packs down solid.
Most people don't like that it's not "natural", which is the worst argument you can make when your snake sleeps in a cut Styrofoam bowl with a dog water bowl.

The ONLY real issue is that the carefresh brand released some that I think had baking soda in it? I haven't seen anything else on that, they said they discontinued it after reports of small animal deaths (Baking soda is toxic to them) I stick with the off brands.
