I have been wondering this for a while now...I use Cox Poplar shavings for my pet rabbit and want to know if its safe for my snakes? It is cheap, $6.50 for a 3.2 cu. ft. compressed bag at my local pet store. The only info I can find online is that it is very similar, if not identical, to aspen. I found that on a UK reptile forum. I will most certainly not use it if it's unsafe. it looks, feels, and smells just like aspen. Anyone with info or personal experience with it?
