5 gal. tank?

Hey Wayne, you mind telling me what bedding you're using in that picture? I'd like to find something like that but they all have sand in them... and from what I've heard that's bad for garters.

I bought some and thought about using it for the Garters. I am using it now for the ball python BUT it seems like it would be harder to spot clean compared to aspen.

BP's are a lot less poopy. Do you think it is as easy as aspen to clean? Takes a while to soak the stuff and dry it out so it if has to be replaced frequently that seems like a lot of hassle.

I have experimented and found that using less water than the instructions call for, and manually busting the brick up yields a nice substrate without waiting for it to dry out.

It may be a slight hassle, but this stuff ships easy, and online deals are everywhere, so it's a good choice for me.

after the snakes have soiled it, re-use it as plant mulch.

Darnit. I was busy for a few days and got left behind. I see the arguing took on a life of it's own. Seems I planted a seed. My job is done here.

Missed you, man. Arguing sucks without you. 'Specially if you're on my side

Thanks. I've been looking for the best bedding other than Aspen. Is this one safe to ingest/digest? That's what I'm really wanting, since my snake won't eat in a separate container...
