My friend wants a baby corn, from me hopefully, but for bedding she wants to use this:
It's called something like softwood mulch? Not too sure, it doesn't have a proper brand name. It comes in pellet form, and this is after adding water. He uses it for all his horses and they have lots to spare.
Thank ya  |

Yes Megazorb is :) Only substrate I have used that allows furry mould to grow on poops in a day! But that only happened with my small rubs, my vivs were fine. I would say megazorb is as messy in my expeience, easily for the hoover to suck up if you have carpet though but it is very light weight stuff! |

And megazorb looks like this. If you have sensitive snakes it can make them sneeze and wheeze a bit lol.
smells like egg boxes :p I got some weird stuff in my bag tough, like very hard eggboard box ruler and protractor XD
Loving the mini dustbin |

That pretty much covers my opinion on it. I do (and lots do) use horse bedding though. The one I use is megazorb, its paper pulp, the stuff they form egg boxes out of. Smells lovely, really absorbent and best of all, really cheap.
I use this company, they deliver it anywhere and did I mention its cheap.

Could be potentially lethal. The major softwood used in this country is pine which is deadly to corns so for the small cost involved I would stick to something that is known to be safe to use. |

Hmm... Not much of an expert I suppose depends on what woods are mixed in. No mean to cause offence but this stuff looks terribly uncomfy and I couldn't imagine it being very much appreciated by the snake. But it's only an opinion. |
