So i've been reading up on substrates, trying to find one i can bulk buy cheaply and use for my corn snakes. I came across megazorb and i've been wondering if its all right for corn snakes - in particular juveniles (5/6 months) as well as an adult. I'm aware it will need to be cleaned regualarly but at £12 odd (http://www.millbryhill.co.uk/equestrian-530/horse-bedding-592/megazorb-wood-pulp-horse-6565.htm), including shipping for 85L thats not an issue. I've had juveniles on paper towels but they try to burrow through it and just accidentally drag their RUB furniture around so i'd like to find a cheap substrate i can use :)

I've read it may be slightly dusty, but i've had that problem before with substrates and i've just shook them in a home-made 'sieve' before i put it in the enclosure to remove any dust.

Has anyone used this before and is it okay for adult and juvenile corns?

havent used it but a good few of the folks i know use it and seem quite happy with it as you have mentioned though the dust can be a pproblem with it.

I have used Aubiose recently similarly priced and comes in same sized bales equally as good, although from using this ii havent had any dust issues.
