    Question Your Favorite Substrate

    I currently use aspen bedding for my cornsnake since its super easy to clean. Would this be OK for a bp too?

    We use aspen with all our snakes. It's great - just make sure to clean regularily as balls have a higher humidity requirement, especially during shed times so feces will mold very very quickly in a warm, humid environment.
