Substrate question.

[bullfrog]

Hey people. Im getting a corn snake ( most likely a baby) and i dont know what litter to choose. I'll be getting a 10 gallon tank to hold it in. But i picked out two substrates that i though would do good. Can you help me choose? Here is one http://www.petsmart.com/reptile___a...strate_materials/products/product_12762.shtml

And here is the other. http://www.petsmart.com/reptile___a...ubstrate_materials/products/product_597.shtml If i were do get this one should i get that big ole bag for 14 dollars? Thanks

Hm..

I'm unfamiliar with that "Forest Floor" stuff but I do know someone who uses Repti-Bark with few problems.

I noticed that they carry aspen shavings. I have used the Kaytee brand before and it was great. I'd definitely recommend this and it's pretty cheap.

I use plain paper towels for my really young hatchlings and aspen for my older ones.

Thanks for you help! I have two more questions. How often do i have to change the litter? And how much should i buy?
