Carefresh question

Hi guys. My vet is recommending that I switch to Carefresh as a substrate instead of aspen sani chips. Rusty has some problems with shedding, even though I increase his humidity, and he won’t use a humid hide. She says that she finds snakes typically do better with shedding with Carefresh. I’ve never used it before so I have a couple of questions. For those of you who use it, where do you buy it? What’s a reasonable price for it? How thick of a layer do you put down? Thanks.

I've only used Carefresh in shipping, never in my snake enclosures.
For increased humidity in the enclosure, I'd use something like cyprus mulch.

I've only used it with my mice, so can't offer advice. I'd start with a small bag from which you can get at Petco or Petsmart, if you want to try it. I agree with Mystic, but don't think there is harm in trying, either.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!
