Question Aspen Shavings vs Aspen Chips?

Hey folks!

I was wondering if it is acceptable to use Aspen chips as a form of substrate. I currently use the ZooMed "Aspen Snake Bedding" and a medium sized bag (8 dry quarts) is like $8 and just doesn't last me long. In the rodent section they have a nice big bag of Aspen (yes it is Aspen I checked) but it's more like chips than shavings, but the price is a lot nicer ($15 for easily twice-three times the bedding).

Will the chips harm the snakes if I use it? Are there other risks I should consider? Does anyone use chips vs shavings? If so what do you think?

I would really prefer to spend less on bedding, but not at the risk of my snakes' health.

Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
