I love the stuff. I'm keeping an MBK and a ball python on it, and I find it works quite well. It is a bit messy, particularly when it gets dry. But- its very easy to spot clean, because its so absorbent. It holds moisture like a sponge, so it's very easy to maintain humidity, but its very mold-resistant. I've been getting *perfect* sheds out of both snakes every time.

I dont normally feed on it, but I have, and there were no problems. My terrariums are somewhat naturalistic, so it also looks attractive. The snakes do conceal themselves in it, particularly the kingsnake.

I prefer it to aspen and bark because its cheaper, more attractive, holds humidity much better and is easier to spot clean. I don't use newspaper because it would defeat the point of a naturalistic terrarium.
