Personally Patricia for just the one snake I'd suggest the WalMart brand. The bag though it looks small is very, very hard packed so it expands to quite a lot of aspen. It's a nice fine shred aspen and very cost effective for the single or smaller collection owner. You might want to also check into your local TSC or other farm supply type stores. They often sell quality beddings at good prices though they tend to come in huge bags.
