Choosing bedding is about more than covering the habitat floor: the substrate can give animals a place to dig and shape into a burrow or nest. Zoo Med Aspen Snake Bedding is made for that naturalistic use, while its absorbency rating and odorless quality make it suitable for snake habitats. Its multi-species use also makes the bedding an option for several kinds of animal enclosures.
