I have decided to try a bedding again. I had used some different types of wood shavings before for other small animals I had and some of them died due to dust being in the shavings. I use cage carpet right now but I was wanting my snake to have "more fun" burrowing. I was looking at forest bed and eco earth. They are a softer substrate than wood shavings and I thought may not be as dusty. Can anyone give me any advice on this subject? I am very wary of wood products now. Also when using a substrate such as this or wood shavings how often do you clean the cage and change the substrate? Thanks for all the info. I appreciate it. This is a great site.
