Is Aspen bedding a good substrate?

I think it would be cool for live plants! And yes I have seen Stefan's live plant tanks, I think I may try it but seems to me like a lot of work.

That was a short experiment and a half-assed one at that.

Honestly, I like watching the arguments between you and C-man(yeah that is what I'll call him)

....But back to the real conversation I use paper towls when the snakes are young and full of poop, one its easy replaceable, two its not ridiculously priced, and three.....it works, and then when the snakes get "older" I switch over to horse bedding pellets that are absorbent, which is essential with snakes(especially garters) and I can spot clean, so I don't have to worry about doing a full tank cleaning every week.

Maybe I'm wrong though, I have never tried any other substrates, but I see what people mean about aspen, every time I walk into petco i see the reptile cages covered in mold, it's absolutely disgusting and maybe im overreacting here but abusive to those snakes at those stores

Thanks. That will do. Beats the heck out of "conman"

Of course, you could just call me "Richard"

It is as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on, and is now working for the UN at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning.

Hrmm...That's cunning.

Literally laughing out loud. *hurts my gut*

Up for another argument? Start naming some reasons.

I would like to hear them too, the pro and the against arguments, more info I got better decision I can make.

[ConcinusMan]

Maybe later. Are you seriously that shortsighted that you can't think that far ahead and come up with plenty of reasons on your own? Of course, you could just go ahead and do it, and find out the hard way. From a maintenance and cleaning standpoint alone, it's a nightmare.
