    I haven't tried coco husk myself yet. I did cypress for a long time, but it was too "woody" and coarse for my tastes. I went to paper which I'm extremely happy with, but it is a touch pricey for 21 snakes. I'm thinking of going to all aspen (which I use for my Dumerils who likes to burrow) but am somewhat concerned about humidity. The coco husk may be a better alternative.

    How "dirty" is it though? Is it quite dusty when cleaning? Does it tend to stick to the snake at all? Curious to see how it does for you. Keep us posted.
    Hi there!

    I think for your situation (21 and counting) aspen is a good bet. You will easily get your humidity up with some well placed balls of damp moss that you can spray and respray. It solved my aspen issues.

    I fed Sniper tonight and he did everything wrong. Dragged the quail through his water, ate it sideways and got dirty LOL!

    It looks great, and I'll give it a chance because even though he got it on his wet prey there is nothing sharp to worry about. It is great with humidity and there is not dust.

    It has some soil like properties.

    I think aspen might be a multiple snake owners best bet.
