You can use it. My question is why? What would be the benefit? It will most likely create dryer conditions in the cage, which contrary to popular belief, is not very good for hognose snakes. It will amplify smells from waste and mold up when wet. My advice would be that being there are so many better substates out there, you should scrap the idea of using shredded cardboard.
