Bedding Question

I use Aspen, and it seems to absorb well and the snakes LOVE burrowing through it. The only concern is to make sure you stay on top of the cleaning even when it doesn't look like you need it. The aspen absorbs a lot and gets dirty even though it still looks like it is pretty clean. On average I'd say once a month, change it all out completely (depending on the size of the snake and cage, I guess that could vary)

Well, I have a 10 gallon and 5.5 gallon tank for my snakes.

I had heard that pine shavings were bad for snakes because of the oil in the wood. Was I given bad info again? I hate when that happens I feel like a Mushroom.....they keep me in the dark and feed me lots of s***!

I use aspen as well. Cheap. My snakes never smell really. I think they smell roses compared to what comes out of my dog. :O

pine is toxic to snakes

only the pine's bark is bad for the snakes, as long as you get shavings that have no bark and are fine, it doesn't harm the snake.

i used carefresh with my corn. its easy to spot clean, keeps the heat perfect, and mine always liked to use it as another hide. when you feed you have to clear a spot to put the pinkie, they can easly get the bedding stuck in their fangs. along with spot cleaning you have to fluff the bedding once a week.
