Over the years I've always heard (and said) that any type of wood chip/shavings substrate was bad for snakes but lately I've seen a whole lot of folks using and recommending aspen. I don't feed my snakes in their homes so impaction risk is minimal.

I see that its sold specially labeled as "snake bedding". i haven't seen that locally but I wouldn't be surprized if I could find aspen bedding of some sort. There wouldn't be any difference in aspen bedding marketed for rats, ferrets or whatever and that marketed for snakes, would there? In other words, is one type of aspen bedding acceptable while another isn't?

Thanks,

Tom
