What Kind Of Aspen Do You Use?

[Orlandoflor]

well while cleaning out my snakes out it hit me that there are a bunch of people that use aspen as bedding. now the question is where do you get your aspen from and what brand do you get? i normally use newspaper but switch back and forth once in a while.

For my BPs in the rack system I use paper towel. But my 1st BP and Corn snake I use Zoomed Aspen bedding. I find it at pretty much any expo and decent pet store.

I use harlan aspen. You can get it here: http://www.pet360.com/product/9216/n...ressed-bedding

My corns get a 50/50 mix of zoo-med and the pet-store brand aspen (wherever i happen to buy it, i've used kay-tee and sun-seed so far, petsmart has a huge bag of 'great choice' for $15 or so, might try that next), so far my bp is on just the zoo-med stuff (baby ~110g). I'm thinking of changing to newspaper for the bigger snakes though....

I get huge bag of it at tractor supply. They also have brooder lamps and heat bulbs if you heat that way

I use the same harlan j94712 posted. It's a very good deal for the price and it seems to be a very "clean" aspen. Haven't found any critters in my bag yet. I use aspen for my rats and some of my snakes.

In order of prefence:

Harlan teklad
Petsmart brand
Pecto brand

Depends on where I am when I need Aspen. Petco brand is shaved and the other 2 are shredded. The shredded works better for clumping/cleaning and making tunnels for snakes that burrow fully, the shaved is nice for the BPs/bigger snakes to cover themselves in when they want to burrow.

I use the kind from tractor supply too. 10.99 for the 4 cu. ft. bag.

[Expensive hobby]

I use kaytee. $17 for a 8cu/ft compressed bale.


I like my Dubstep to go Wop Wop Wop Wop

I just use newspaper or paper towels but this thread is interesting
