I used this for my first snake 14 years ago and I keep coming back to it. While it is a bit dusty, and it's dry and will dehydrate a snake quickly if you're not on top of your water chores, it holds a burrow like nothing else and doesn't break down. It spot cleans easy, dries fast in case of spills and smells nice. It also seems cozy! It isn't appropriate for every species but most of the ones I like do excellently on this stuff. I see myself using it another 14 years easy!
Not Meant for Snakes
Aspen is not meant for snakes. It can't retain moisture and it's too dusty. The dust can block the snakes heat sensors. Snakes need humidity to have a successful and safe shed. Aspen can also mold when there is moisture. Use coco-fiber and coconut husks but most importantly do research about your snake (their natural habitat/ necessary humidity levels/ etc.)
Great for Chinchilla bedding
Not a reptile at all, I know! I use this on the bottom floor of my chinchilla’s cage to sop up his urine. It’s perfect because it’s very light and small shavings, not big chunks like I would probably use for an adult snake. It keeps the cage from needing to be cleaned every single day- instead, around 2 weeks is a good time to change it all out, and you can spot clean by grabbing up the wet spots and then replacing with more aspen shavings. I also dump all the used bedding into my compost pile! Which is perfect since both urine and herbivore droppings are great for compost hahaha.
INFESTED with mites
Had my snake on this bedding and after a couple weeks he was eaten up with mites. I didn’t realize where they came from and thought he may have come to me with them. Deep cleaned everything, kept him on paper towels in a different enclosure for a month, and a vet gave him a clean bill of health. I put him back in his tank on this substrate and he had mites again within two weeks. This is literally the only place they could have come from, and the vet agreed.
Best snake bedding!
This a by far the best snake bedding, and at a great value.

Lydia the sandboa loves it
What a great price on the smaller bag! I purchased three so I was stocked up on changed for my saharan sand boa. Product is clean, light weight, and the price is unbeatable on chewy.
BAD BATCH !!!!
Just purchased this and now my 2 snakes have mites. They didn’t have any before. But now they do it hasn’t been a week since I used this…..got a bad batch apparently and I won’t be buying bedding from Chewy ever again. My babies have to now be quarantined. The infestation is insane. All baby mites
This Stuff Is Great!
We have three color morphed corn snakes that are 16-years-old. For years Aspen Snake Bedding is the only bedding we have ever used. We attribute their longevity in part to regular, thorough cage cleanings and the use of Zoo Med Aspen Bedding to keep them healthy. This stuff is great!
Perfect for my Corn Snake(:
I’ve been using this since I got my corn snake a few months ago! She’s still just a baby and loves to burrow- it holds its shape really well for her. It hasn’t been messy at all as I use a piece of carpet bedding underneath to wrap it all up in each month when I change everything out. I also love that it’s easy to spread out so a bag of this goes a long way!
