| hmm i think its more of a personal choice than any thing - tho the majority probably use aspen because i think the bark chips need drying out in the oven to prevent to much humidity? and aspens easier to spot check for poo...... |

| Aubiose, it's basically aspen labelled for horses but it's fine for snakes and is much cheaper than snake and other reptile labelled aspen. Very super absorbent for poos but one out of my four snakes seems to get covered in the dust and dirt and sneezes from it. It is also cheap and is made from paper pulp I think, it looks like egg boxes lol |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |
