Hi all, what does everyone use for substrate for their garters?? I normally use coco-fiber/bed-abeast stuff. But that gets expensive with weekly cage cleanings.. I have also recently had a reptile die from ingesting some..found gut blockage.

Is aspen just as good? I use it for other snakes, so more cost effective.. I know of a wildlife biologist that keeps all his snakes on round river rock. small enough to pass through if swallowed but makes cleaning a hassle.

Whatta think??
