Re: corn snake bedding
Good lord how 'bout we get back on topic here LOL
When I had my two corns I used the ground walnut shell bedding. It was easy easy to clean, the snakes seemed to love to bury and move through it, and I didn't have to worry about smell so much.

Re: corn snake bedding
Probably just spam, check out the sig...
Anywho, I use aspen with all my Corns and have for almost 8 years. I've never had mold issues, I find it easy to spot clean and it holds their tunnels well.

Re: corn snake bedding
I like to keep my colubrids on aspen and they seem to enjoy it. However, repti-bark or coco would also do the trick. I guess it boils down to what you want to look at, clean, and what your corn looks good on!

Re: corn snake bedding
With regard to the tunnelling - i do find all three of my corns will tunnel through repti bark - it doesn't necessarily hold the tunnels so they have to make new ones each time but they do seem to enjoy plowing through it and popping up here and there.

Re: corn snake bedding
Agree with above. Once you post a question on the forum, it is public domain. The info is there for anyone to find. If somebody google searches corn snake bedding, hopefully it will point them towards this forum and they will find all sorts of info for and against any particular snake bedding alternatives.
That being said, for my corns I do use aspen, as corns do not have excessive humidity requirements, mold is not much of an issue. I change the substrate every 3 months.

Re: corn snake bedding
Thread resurrection!!!!!
I use Aubiose in most of my vivs.
Most of the snakes have about 1/2 inch deep of it max, unless they pile it up. The reason for it is because it's easier to spot clean and doesn't have as much of a thermal insulating properties then. The surface temp of 2 inch deep substrate can be massively different to the temp at the bottom of the viv where the mat is.
The only exception to this rule is my hoggies which have about an inch deep substrate with Aubiose.

Re: corn snake bedding
at this time she actuall has about 4-6 inches. she loves to burrow and i dont mind sifting through it once a week. and i have 2 probes. one in the substrate and one just slightly covered so she doesnt move it about.
