If you wanted something completely bug free Rubstrate would be an idea but I have no idea how it works with snakes. I use horse bedding like megazorb and auibois.

All natural substrates may contain bugs, but there's aren't necessaryly snake mites, they could be substrate bugs.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
