Best place to buy aspen bedding in bulk

where can i order aspen bedding in bulk for cheap

and it has to be shredded aspen (looking for like 20lbs

also i was wondering should i switch the bps i have on newspaper to aspen? Is it better?

bump ;)

im not sure where to buy, but yeah you should switch to aspen if you can afford it.

the newspaper is fine but aspen is thourougly easier to clean, just grab the area around the waste and toss. add a lil more to fill the hole..lol great stuff

I get mine at tractor supply company. Cheaper then the pet stores.

I get all my Aspen at tractor Supply as well...Its the cheapest place I have found so far.

I get mine from Tractor Supply when I'm out that way. Other then that I normally get a huge bag of Harlan Teklad Aspen from local reptile shows.

I guess I'm lucky being the manager of a small pet store, I just order my aspen bedding in bulk from one of the distributors so I get it at cost which is dirt cheap considering that usual markups are around 150% above cost. Some small pet stores will do special orders for their customers so you can try that. I know we do special orders for cost + 25%, which is still a steal:gj:

does anyone have a actual website?

surprised nobody replied to this o_O

i would recommend it bc its cheaper (or free if u get the paper haha)
it's way easier to clean, and it's way easier to spot where the grossness is.

i use paper towells for the same reasons, bc i dont get the paper ^-^.

Ok i winded up buying a big bag and decided to go back to newspaper because i HATE aspen. It gets in their mouths when eating, its as hard as hell to clean their crap. Im saying with regular newspaper because its free and easy to use and clean

I use both paper towels and aspen, and some snakes just gotta have aspen...:P
This is her favorite spot, lol.

I use Premier Pet brand from petco, I found there to be alot less dust compared to shredded aspen, which I thought I liked, till I used this stuff.

SO I use aspen....my BPs coil up and basically push all the aspen to the sides! Would it be better just to use newspaper type paper in my tubs? Or is this normal behavior for BPs to push everything out of their way?

Seems to me its a waste of money to put aspen in the tub if all the snake does is push it away from them to lay directly on the bin....BUT...the cleaning aspect is much easier! Spot cleaning compared to changing the whole piece of paper seems easier! :D
