Aspen Bed is a loose poplar fibre substrate for keepers of corn snakes, milk snakes, garter snakes, western hognose snakes, other snakes of any size, and all rodents. It suits enclosures where the animal needs to dig a burrow and rely on it as a hiding place.
Why it matters
- The long, thin fibres allow snakes and rodents to crawl and dig, and the burrows they excavate hold their shape.
- The burrows retain heat inside, which keeps the animal warm and gives it a secure shelter. The supplier states that this also supports egg-laying.
- The substrate absorbs moisture up to 190% of its own weight and odours, which helps the enclosure stay fresh for longer.
- It is dedusted and contains no chemical additives, and the supplier states it is non-hazardous even if swallowed.
