just to say i have a ball python and i bought a aspen mulch because it was pushed by the people at the store and i personly have a ball python so he doesnt burrow and the aspen bedding is not good for feeding at all when the snake strike it gets stuck in his mouth and is a huge hassal so just use newspaper its super great and the snake moves a lot more freely and loves it !

@Howie, I’ve never heard of using kitty litter. Since it has all kinds of chemicals to keep it smelling fresh, I would highly suggest not using it. Stick with the substrates in the article and you should be fine. Good luck!

Just wondering if anyone can help me, people have suggested kitty litter as a substrate but we’re worried about any potential fire hazard if using a heat mat, as its often made from paper. You can also get clay based kitty litter, is this harmful at all to snakes?

Hi Brandon. It doesn’t need to be shredded finely. Any will do.
