A feed store closer to my home was able to get a gallon jug for me and I paid him $34.99 for it, but it's good for a looooong time. :) You might find someone in your area. Just ask around. ;)

I buy my aspen at Stop and Shop. I got a huge bag for $9. I have changed out my cage twice and I haven't made a dent in the bag yet. I figure it will last at least 10 changes which works out to less than a buck a month.

I use news paper. it is free, easy to clean up and is dust free. I dont mind looks or lack there of lol. once I get my wall unit finished for any morphs I want displayed (when I ever get one that is :P ) then I will be useing aspen.

we get the huge bags of Kaytee aspen. The bedding pieces are pretty small and it is really soft. For most of the snakes T rex cypress bedding gets mixed in. I get the 10 quart bags for 5.00 each. I think the Kaytee aspen runs us 8 for the big bag. I tried to use straight cypress but the tubs got really wet inside so I started mixing in aspen.

repti carpet just because

I use aspen. I keep being tempted to buy some of that crushed walnut stuff. I like the way it looks but am worried about using it for the same reasons you shouldn't use sand, although the grains aren't as fine so i'm not sure if they'd be able to get under scales.

I use newspaper. With the new rack, it is practical, cheap (we read it anyway) and can't be ingested during feeding. For humidity-needing shed times, I crumple up paper towels and add them in to increase humidity. This worked great for our female last week.

I have a Ball python. I switched from indoor/outdoor carpet (which I love)

to Lizard Litter- tropical blend. I have been able to increase humidity and
Cyrus seems to really enjoy the change. I have used the coco fiber and
that was ok as well. Just changed the Snake store owner said I should
try it out.
