What species is it?

Anything native to Ontario is not allowed to be kept without a permit.

I did it once, looks really nice, until it's time to clean it.

Garters will poop all over everything.

Gave up on that idea years ago, standard snake bedding like bark or coconut fiber is so much easier to deal with.
