Substrate

I love shredded-fine aspen. it kinda fits together and makes a "mat" for your cage. I had only used it for a few weeks when I noticed my snakes had mites (see thread in General forum.) Once I eradicate the mites (well I already did, but I am using newspaper for awhile to be sure) I plan on going back to it.

Hi folks i'm new here and live in England (across the Atlantic) just to say i use Aspen to, it's great for soaking up urine etc.. and makes your snake look good as a background to.

Hi Ginevive,

Where do you think the mites came from? Did the snakes already have them, or do you think it was transmitted though the substrate?:O
