Re: what is the average price you folks pay for a bail of aspen bedding?
Just for those bags of aspen bedding at Petsmart it's $7.99 I believe. Not too bad of a price.

My bails of aspen just went up from $12-15. Forget the cu. feet but its like 30 or 40 lbs. It lasts me a long time because I don't breed too many rodents. I also use it for my reptiles with no issues.

A ton is a skid. So in the winter you wipe out half a tractor trailer load per month. (you can put 40-44 skids per trailer depending on type and how it is loaded)
How big is your building? What do you heat/cool it with? What type pf racks do you use?
Yes a skid is a ton. We have it shipped direct from Richmond, ID. The trucks can only hall 22 tons at a time so I reorder everyother month, We get back up from Harlen. In the summer we bring in a truck almost everymonth. The summer bills suck, everyother month is nice.
I would not know why anyone would want to see the place. It smells, but it is impressive (sort of). If you picture the freedom breeder racks in rows and rows. That is it. The building is 40 foot by 100 foot. The food and bedding are stored in another building, nothing but rodents a bathroom and a large restrant sink to wash the tubs. The work is not so bad, I call it the dirty side of all the snakes I have.

So do you breed just for your snakes?, if so then more impressive should be to see your snake room!
I have a cabinet shop, so I have shavings all the time, we usually don't work with pine, so I use alder wood shavings, only for my rodents, snakes are kept in paper any one knows if that is ok?
