no they are completely different, aspen is specially for retiles! The ones for gerbils are usually pine which is poisonous to snakes!!

please don't confuse Aspen with sawdust/shavings sold for small animal bedding. Aspen is completly safe for reps whereas shavings/sawdust are pine based and are definitely NOT suitable!
