There's a lot of choice to choose from from simple newspaper to aspen
Personally I use beech chips I get a good coverage on the viv floors also it's a reasonable price all my reptiles are on it.
Was wondering what everyone else's choice was |

| I'm using soft wood chip from Swell reptiles - apparently it's like aspen but a bit softer - not tried anything else yet as only moved Corno into her viv recently! |

They wouldn't aborb poo well and you would be taking out huge amounts for one poo. PLus that stuff is generally long and kinda nots together so if you snake slithered about, it aould all lump onside I imagine.
@Bunny, Ahh I know the stuff! It was being sold on a frozen food places I was looking at as being what lab animals are kept on and what some breeders are now using but I forgot what it's called if it's the stuff I'm thinking about! It looks good, hopefully 20kg bags will be more avaliable in future. Do you know how much softer than aspen it is? |

would have though hay and straw could be quite dusty depending on the quality, i know straw isn't suitable for some small animals as the sharp ends can cause damage to their eyes. hay can sometimes carry mites to, i have know guinea pigs pick up mites from hay. |

| I use Aspen at present. But have used Beech chips and kitchen roll in the past. I try to change it about a bit for a bit of variation. |
