Spotted/Children's Pythons

I was wondering what substrate do most python owners use for their spotted/children's pythons? Thanks for any help!

Hey,
I use either betta chips or aspen for most youngests and usually newspaper when adults. Or if you would like to go wiht somethin more natural, dry cypress works nice.

I've used both aspen bedding and ECO-Fresh for my childreni. The EF looks like small pebbles, and I like the look. It clumps nicely for spot cleaning too. However, a word of warning: make sure that it is kept dry because it will mold. Aspen is still the most economical choice for my multiple snakes, and works well for the childreni so long as I feed them in a separate container.
