Corn Cobs bedding

I just bought my first bag of Repti-bark today, and set up my cage. It says it's safe to ingest, and the pieces are so small, I don't think there'd be a problem of choking on it or anything. I'm sure it'd be safe if a ball consumed a few little chunks of it. But not massive amounts. Then impaction might be a problem.

i would steer clear of the grainy and the coarse kind altogether. back in the mid 80's i have kept them on the coarse kind, but i never experienced an impactation problem. it doesn't mean it can't happen. i have used the grainy kind for a leo colony before, but don't think it holds the humidity well. i use newspaper for my breeder balls and when i dislayed my copperheads, i used aspen. if you are real worried about impactation, i would suggest newspaper. it isn't the prettiest, but you can't beat the price!

I use EcoEarth shredded coconut substrate; Roo's eaten a tiny bit mashed up on her prey before, but her fecals have all been normal thus far. Still, if you're concerned about your snake eating her substrate, newspaper's the way to go. :)

That, or feeding out of the tank. :)

I'd never use corn-cob bedding.
I can't digest it, so I wouldn't expect my snake too.
Try eating a can of corn, you'll have corn chunks after taking a dump. Its a beautiful thing.

lol, that was funny.
I would steer clear of any substrate that's loose, personally. Bps have those heat-sensing pits in their noses, and dirt particles can become lodged in there. This is the reason why sand should Never be used as a sub. for Bps. I'd fear that any other grainy or dirty substrate could do the same thing. I swear by newspaper all tha way!
