Thanks that's what I use in my bearded dragons viv's. I like the aspen as it does look soft for them and they do like to go under and sleep.

I am about to trial megazobe. I have been using carefresh which I really like but it is more expensive.

Hmmm, actually come to think of it - lignocel is great if you have several snakes in large enclosures (and it's fine for other pets such as hamsters etc), but 3 little ones and a bag will probably last you forever lol! This is the link if you want to check it out anyway ;) http://www.wildworldreptileshop.co.uk/lignocel-12-5kg/ Much softer than aspen, smells nice (I hate the smell of beech chips) and one bag has lasted me ages already!

Couple of youtube vids on lignocel if you want to see what it looks like, but like I said, you may want to hold off until your snakes are in bigger vivs ;)
