First of all, get a new vet.

Never use Nature's Bark and ReptiBark. The most toxic part of fir and pine trees is the bark. Never use this. NEVER !!! I cannot be more firm about the toxicity of this product and its potential for killing snakes. Especially young ones.

Most breeders use aspen bedding if they don't use paper. It's the pulp of the tree with no bark and relatively neutral in odor and chemical content. The most digestible of the aspen products is the shredded aspen bedding. The smaller the better.
