This is what I use for my snakes but use the Corn Cobb bedding for rats

Sorry, bale is probably not the right term. I just call it that cause it looks like a small hay bale. It says Premium quality horse bedding on the side and comes in a bale shaped bag that measures about 30" X 18" X 11" (I just took a tape measure to it) and says 'All Natural aspen fibers', 'Multi screened to minumize dust', 'highly absorbent', and the weight is listed as 'more then 43 lbs' I suppose the weight is variable depending on how much moisture is contained in the wood fibers. In any case, it's a heck of a lot cheaper buying it from a farm supply store then from a pet shop or from the pet section of a department store.

Dang, too bad its just about only in Wisconsin. Thats an awesome deal, and just as cheap as pine!

I get 50lb bales at Mills Fleet Farm for $5.00 a piece. They sell it as horse bedding. I use it for my rodents.

that's where I get mine also
such a great deal!

So, is it okay to use one of these compressed aspen "bales" with snakes even though it isn't shredded as fine as typical aspen snake bedding?

The "bales" of Harlen are shredded. Looks just like the zoo-med stuff. Only 1/4 the cost.
