Mites
Date: July 16, 2009
"I loved this product because I would mix it with the coconut husk. However, I recently found wood mites crawling all over my snake. I did some research on them, and found out that this type of substrate commonly carries this little pests. They're not harmful to the snake, but they can rapidly grow in numbers and take over the enclosure. It took me two hours of tediously cleaning the cage, accessories, and my snake for me to [hopefully] get rid of them. Needless to say, I will not be using this product ever again."

Better than other Aspen products
Date: April 10, 2008
"I picked this Aspen bedding over others as it seemed much softer than other bagged Aspen bedding due to the smaller sized shavings. My Indian Star and Leopard tortoises seem to like it. Mats down nicely but torts can still burrow into it. Very clean product with almost no dust. Easy to spot clean. Does get dragged into food and water dishes as product is very fine Aspen shavings. After one weeks use I'm pleased with this product and would buy again. Would be nice if it was available in larger sized bags."

"My California King Snake loves to burrow under the aspen. It is easy to scoop to spot clean, and does not have any dust or bad odor. It's the only snake litter I'll use."

Awesome!
Date: February 19, 2008
"This is the only bedding I use for my snakes. They seem to enjoy it, due to it not being rough or sharp for them to move on. It is easy to spot clean their cages with this bedding and easy to replace when it comes time for a complete change."

Perfect Bedding
Date: February 12, 2008
"This product has got to be the best bedding I have ever used! Its super absorbant if my ball python spills his water, is light enought for him to burrow under, its soft enough to not cut his scales, and it is oil and oder free! It also locks in the oder from the snake so there is never a fowl oder around my pythons cage! This stuff really works! And it is inexpensive!!"

good snake bedding
Date: January 20, 2008
"i've tried a couple different kinds of shavings & beddings for my ball python but he seems to like aspen the best. i've found it easy to spot clean. the only thing i notice is that it doesn't hold humidity well so i have to keep an eye on it."

Excellent Bedding!
Date: January 18, 2008
"I can't imagine using anything else as bedding for my young cornsnake. It's perfectly safe and she easily makes her tunnels all throughout the tank. Just make sure you feed your snake in a separate container to prevent them from eating their bedding, no matter what kind it is."

Soooooooooo Funny!
Date: September 18, 2007
"I have a beautiful california king snake and she loves this stuff. She loves to burrow and you can see little tunnels everywhere. She also hides under it after eating to digest.Also, on the hot side of the terrarium, it regulates my under tank heater perfectly. It is also easy to spot clean and has no odor or smell. The funny part is that you'll ocasionally see her peak her head out with the rest of her body hidden. She just looks around, and them scoots back in. Fantastic product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Best substrate ever!
Date: September 10, 2007
"I've used two other substrates in the eight years since I've had my Florida kingsnake, and he loves this stuff so much, he burrows in it! I've never seen him do that with anything else. He also seems to be more rested, less agitated."

aspen snake bedding is the best!
Date: November 28, 2005
"At first I felt bad that my snake had to live on reptile bark, which is a good product, but he didnt like it. So I looked into snake bedding and this is what I found. Now I can never find him because he is always burroing tunnels! Now I know what I will use for all my snakes aspen snake bedding. This is a must have and I give it a five star rating!"
