Hiya, I remember a while ago there was a thread on this bedding that was like tiny squares of aspen bedding. It was much softer than aspen, and when I bought Spook (snake) he came with some in his tub.

Does anyone know what I'm on about? I can't remember it's name D:

My little Emrys was on Lignocel when he arrived. It's nice, very soft compared to Aspen, but quite a bit more expensive to buy. Depending on how many snakes & mice you have it could be very pricey to keep them all on it.

I use repticard, but it's not so good for the mice, the babies are very small and they get 'lost' lol. Maybe I'll just use Lignocel for the mice and two younger corns.

I recently changed to lignocel - the hognose loves it for burrowing lol! Not got it in all the vivs yet, but I agree it is very soft - still have to do the 'clumping test' to see how easy it is to remove poops lol!

I use it for everything, it is great. Soft, smells nice but not artificial, clumps well and absorbs odours. I'm not going to be using anything else in a hurry.

Yes, it's more pricey than other substrates, but I find a huge bag lasts me ages, and it doesn't require a full clean out quite so often as long as you stay on top of poo removal!

I have it. Very soft and clumps very well and I don't tend to get the pieces all around my house, but will probably switch back to Aubiose as its cheaper and last me longer.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
