most folks use Aspen, because that's what all the chain stores use, and what people "Push" on everyone else.
I have yet to find a wild snake hiding under a field of shredded aspen anywhere, but I suppose it's possible.
I used old newspapers for 20 years before Aspen was even available, and it was fine too.
The truth is, you can use almost anything, the snake does not care. "But he looks so cute Burrowing in Aspen...." is not really a reason to use it.
Aspen is fine. But so are paper towels, newspapers, reptile carpet, and I can recall some folks even using "AstroTurf." Remember that stuff? It was also popular about 40 years ago.
