Empty contents of aspen bedding into your terrarium. Spread bedding over the entire bottom of terrarium for a minimum 2" depth. With very large, heavy snakes, you may need up to 4" depth.
Clean water should be provided at all times. Provide a water dish that allows enough room for your snake to coil up in, taking care to avoid a situation where overflowing occurs when snake is submerged.
We recommend feeding your snake in a separate feeding container. This prevents them from accidentally ingesting the substrate, resulting in impaction.
Clean habitat daily and remove any stool or other waste. If an offensive odor persists, replace all bedding. Zoo Med recommends replacing all Aspen snake bedding every two to three months or more often if needed.

All of my corn snakes LOVE this!
By Luvmyreps on Dec 14, 2020
I love Zoo Med's Aspen Snake Bedding! My four corn snakes seem to love it as well. They enjoy burrowing and hiding in it. I love that people are surprised that I have reptiles and they don't notice a smell. Clean up is so easy with this snake aspen. I recently had three 24qt bags and still bought three more, of the same size, while they are on sale. I now have a good back up supply for my two 40g, one 20g and the 10g enclosures. I have tried other brands in the past but this last year found this and Chewy's deals and am happy to benefit, as well as my snakes :) For those wondering about the amount to use for your enclosure. It is up to you and your individual snakes. I personally like to provide I love Zoo Med's Aspen Snake Bedding! My four corn snakes seem to love it as well. They enjoy burrowing and hiding in it.

Happy boa having good times
By Ranchorat on Feb 22, 2021
My boa has had sand for ages. I wanted to give him something interesting. He burrowed a lot and seems to really like this. Plus it’s a lot lighter great for making cleaning easy.

By Jesse on Jan 2, 2021
I like this one, it insulates my tank and doesn't! make me sneeze! I am trying to dig...it does flatten out after my fat body crawls on it, but I will learn. Some day...

Rigatoni loves it
By Ronafish79 on Sep 11, 2020
Bought this for my cornsnake Rigatoni. I have had him 4 months so far, he’s a hatchling noodle. He has shed every month and eats weekly. No shed issues no feeding issues. I put a thick layer of bedding in his tank and he burrows through the bedding, you can see his tunnels in the bedding. It works great for him. No odors no dust.

So far, so good
By crate on Jul 4, 2020
Ordered 2 bags of this. Was getting tired of the coco fiber and coco husk stuff. I breed Ball Pythons, and keep them in rack tubs, have 24, so far. I can easily control humidity without having to mist or anything. So, as long as I can keep them from dumping their water bowls, I wont have a mold problem. But, as for defecation cleaning, it's good. I wear rubber gloves, just pick up the feces, or the area around the urine, and chunk it, and replace just what you threw out. So, it's some pretty good stuff, overall.

Awesome Aspen Snake Bedding
By FurFriendz on Jul 30, 2020 Top 250 Contributor
Got this bedding for Nake the snake, a young ball python. It expands alot and will offer multiple bedding changes in my 40 gallon set up. It holds humidity nicely. The pieces of bedding are uniform.

Wish I'd tried Aspen Snake Bedding years ago, love it!
By cookie888 on May 30, 2020
I love the Aspen Snake Bedding. I've always used sand for my Western Hognose, to create a desert landscape, but the Aspen is perfect. My snakes love it. They are a tunneling snake, and the Aspen holds up to tunneling, and keeps the tunnels intact. It looks tidy, and nice. Its very easy to clean. I wish I'd tried this years ago, and I am very happy to have found it now. Its a great substrate, light weight, and cost effective. I am, and my snakes are, very happy with the Aspen Snake Bedding.
