    I would say less then 1% of my snakes burrow. Once in a great while someone will take a snooze under the compressed aspen pellets.
    They probably don't burrow for fear they'll miss a meal.

    Really? I thought it was common based on our bunch. We sometimes get an ant farm effect in the substrate that's up against the glass. It's really funny the way they pop up out of the substrate sometimes, we call it the sand eel pose.

    My snakes love to burrow too...and to make little tunnels all through the substrate and pop their little heads up and look at me..I love it!

    Well, the pellets are heavier than a lot of the bedding options. Maybe they are afraid of getting squished!

    I don't think they fear being squished but the pellets are heavier then many substrates so maybe they just don't want to make the effort to get under them.

    Our snakes love to burrow as well. We use carefresh though. No chance of squishing.
