>>what is this bed a beast i keep hearing about? is this stuff better for kingsnakes? I hear its nontoxic and safe to feed on, but can kings borrow in this stuff? anyone use this with kings? I can get a whole bunch on sale, but dont want to use it if the aspen is better..I never heard of it till today, and still not sure what it really is, I just heard its nontoxic and safe to ingest....how does it look? thanks

Its just ground up coconut fibers, used in the past and got tired of the mess it created. Holds heat, moisture and smells well. Some of my snakes did consume the stuff with no ill effects since its non toxic and fibrous. Have read issues with certain species of snakes that have heat pits and the fibers causing eructations inside, pythons and boas as an example. My vote still is newspapaer.
