Both types seem to work fine, but I can only seem to find the chipped stuff in large bulk packages, and I have way too many snakes to be buying small bags of aspen.
Yea i just put some of the chipped stuff in today its not bad :gj:

Chipped. I was using the other stuff and the really tiny cut confetti aspen but when one of my snakes got a mouth full of bedding I quickly changed. The chipped is so big that it doesnt get caught in their mouth. If any is stuck to the rat it falls off before the snake swallows it. I also use newspaper in some cases and kiln dried pine for the rats.

Yea the chipped i have is :gj:
Im dont like the feel of chipped but i seem to like it better. Bigger bag for less money. Seems to not be to bad during feeding like less stuck to mouse. Also i find it much easier to clean. The chipped seems to not take off and fly in the air like the shredded does. Also less messy?

I (we) use aspen chips. I think this is what we are sticking with after gowing through peat moss, ReptiBark, etc. Easy for spot cleaning, costs is easy on the budget for the amount you get and not messy.
