Zilla Reptile Terrarium Bedding Substrate Snake and Lizard Litter, 24 Quart

I have to say, this has drastically improved my snake tank cleanup routine. It holds the moisture better than the big shavings, preventing the runny snake poop from spreading across the bottom of the enclosure, and the urates soak into the little chips and kinda clump up, and I now use a cat litter scoop for spot cleaning, which is way quicker and easier than having to dig out poops with a paper towel or plastic baggie like I did before. Plus, the hognose snakes appear to LOVE digging in this stuff, they go wild zipping around in this substrate, I think because it flows more like sand or loose soil, and they enjoy the ease of movement through it. Also, I feel like it has less pungent scent than the big aspen shavings when it's damp.

Used for rabbits. No complaints. Will buy again

It’s alright. I prefer the other aspen. This is kinda messy but it does do the job

Great for all the tunnelling

I've only ever used aspen shavings for my 11 year old Sand Boa, since he was a baby. He's done great, but I just thought I'd try aspen chips to change things up a little and try something new. This is the best litter and will be my new choice from now on. Aspen shavings are a great choice, no complaints. Low dust, almost no odor, very clean, and for Sand Boas in particular, it's very important that they be able to borrow in their bedding, as they spend the majority of their lives underground in the wild. These aspen chips are just a step up in my opinion. They have ZERO dust, and no odor that I've noticed. They are just as easy for him to burrow in, and I've noticed that these chips hold the heat from the heat lamps I use to keep his cage warm. I don't like looking at big animals in little cages, so even though he is only 18 inches long, and might get to only 2 feet, tops, his cage takes up an entire wall of the room he's in (I've actually done the math. Scaled down, he has a bigger house than I do lol) so it takes a lot of wattage to keep the cage at the ideal temperature. I've noticed, since switching to these aspen chips, his cage is naturally about 4-5 degrees warmer than with the shavings. In fact, I'm running lower wattage heat lamps now which is saving me money, not only with the lamps themselves, but on my electric bill. I can tell he likes the chips more, too. They are more of a sand/pebbly texture, and I've noticed him sitting on top of them more soaking up the warmth, which was rare to ever see him fully unburrowed with the shavings as they didn't hold same surface warmth.

Worth the price. Use it for ball python. Has an odd smell though, but it’s fine.

These are tiny little square chips of Aspen. I use them in the wheel portion of my IKEA Detolf. They are soft and easy to manage.

Snake seems fine in it and likes burrowing in it

perfect for my kenyan sand boa but more expensive on amazon that at the pet shop.

I bought this to use as filler for a sewing ham and it works perfectly.
