Aspen is cheaper and more absorbent IMO than beech. In case of any accidential ingestion of Aspen is easier for snakey to break down in his gut but still not good if he swallows any.
yunno hillzi, i'm well proud of you with that reply hun  
Ditto mate. Nice one Tom |

I have been using beech chips for both of mine, but switched them back to aspen and they love to burrow in it. It also clumps together easier when poopy so its easier to muck out. |

I don't think there was much difference in price but I get my aspen off http://www.888reptiles.co.uk/index.php usually get it when I buy mice so I can get the free delivery lol |

I use hemp/aspen for my corns simply as they like to burrow in it and they cant in beech chippings. I find aspen costs more than beech chippings but if you buy a bale it will bring the price down a bit. |

i have the chips for my snake and apen for my skink, but after the snake sheds im gonna do aspen instead, find it easier to spot clean and easier for them to burrow in.
only thing is its harder to find a burrowing rep in i find lol |
