I am wondering about how suitable orchid bark is for corn snakes. I am going to move my guy off papertowels and back into a more natural setting, and I have tons of orchid bark hanging around because I use it for my phelsuma. Is it too dusty? Too easily ingested?

There are probably people who use it, but I wouldn't. Aspen shavings or CareFresh are the way to go. I know most "bark-blends" are NOT good for snakes, but I don't know for sure about Orchid bark. (aspen is probably cheaper than Orchid bark anyway, so might as well save the bark for your garden
)

Thanks for the advice. It kinda seemed a little wrong. I guess I should just trust my gut. I'll leave my supply to my cresteds and day geckos and pick up some aspen the next time I'm at the shop.
