cold snake

As long as the temps are ok, it is fine. I hope you have some substate over the heatmat though.

there is no "best" bedding, but there are a number which work fine depending on your needs

Aspen, newspaper, paper towel, some bark blends, reptile carpet are some of the ones that people on this board regularly use.

Ones to definitely AVOID include cypress, pine or cedar woods and sand.

I use aspen for adults and paper towel for young ones.

I had this lil stuff that was small and i asked the local pet ppl and they said it was fine it was like 3cm long is that ok they had no irration? Is that ok????
 
that would depend on what it was made of, but if the petstore recommended it, then it is probably ok,

I'd make sure the pet store knew what it was talking about. Some pet stores don't always know what they are talking about. I have had to inform some customers and an employee that corn snakes DON'T EAT CRICKETS. True story. I just happened to overhear an employee telling a customer that they eat crickets. They actually had crickets in the viv with the corns.
 
lol

This probably would sound like a stupid question but when i buy snakes or see breeders snakes almost all of them use white wood chip substrate and the snakes really seem to enjoy digging and playing in this stuff so im pretty interested in getting my snake some of this since he seemed happy in it. Right now im using repti-bark but its hard and i dont really think he likes it. :(

Sounds like aspen. Aspen works rather well. The snakes can sit on top of it or dig under and hide.
 
Substrate? Wuzzat?

I am using a reptile carpet and I love it. I have two and just hose one off outside to clean it when I switch 'em.
I use Spanish Moss from Home Depot for a hidey. $3/bag lasts about a month. Actually I keep two hideys (one hot one cool).
Plus a BIG water bowl, and a plastic glow-in-the-dark skeleton.
In a 20L tank. Seems to work well and looks very nice.
