I am good friends with who may be the biggest Ball Python breeder in Central Indiana. He uses aspen...but he also uses this substrate. And I used to use Aspen. However, and you should know this, Indiana winters are very very dry. Having gas heat, further drys out your air.
This is called "Reptibark",it is PERFECTLY SAFE for snakes and other reptiles. The only problem that MAY EVER OCCUR is a piece of it sticking to food and getting impacted. Fortunately another tip I got from my friend, and through extensive research I did before ever using this substrate, I lay down a piece of paper towel for the snakes to feed off of so they don't get substrate in their mouth.
Thanks for your suggestion though. And nice to meet a fellow Hoosier on here.

After messing around with several substrates I have gone to paper towels. I was tired of snakes striking at food and getting substrate. Paper towels are just SO MUCH EASIER!

Haha...so I finally came up with a name. I'm sure it's been done before....but oh well.
Casanova!!!!! I chose this because this little pimp...(when he and the females are bigger) is hopefully going to help produce my first two clutches ever when I match him to a Pastel and the Spider girl I am about to get....so ya, Casanova it is :D
