what is the substarate of choice for hognose

When iget my pair im going to use Aspen, like some use for mice and such.

this allows them to burrow, but you should feed in a different enclosure, so they dont injest any wood

DO NOT USE ASPEN SHAVINGS
 

I would prefer a type of jungle mix bark, do not use aquarium rocks litter or cedar, pine, or ASPEN, choose something that will hold moisture. :(

why do you not recommend aspen? It's low in dust and works great. Jungle bark is usually much dirtier and contains irritants that aspen does not.

I use aspen for all my hogs w/o problems and I know several other breeders that do as well.

additionally, why would you want to hold moisture for a species that is from a relitively arid region? Too much moisture can be dangerous to hogs particularly westerns.

Aspen contains small traces of cedar, and cedar is not healthy for snakes. your welcome.try something like coconut bedding.

lol...aspen is a poplar tree! Poplar (aspen) is a hard wood, nothing like cedar ( a soft wood).

small traces is what is said...:argue:

negative...nothing of the sort

uhh.....yeah, alot of the sort, i've done numerous tests on it, also different kinds, if you were smart enough to try out some experiments, maybe you would agree. when aspen is processed, they use other woods to improve scent and moisture absorbtion....so i think im sure that what im saying is true...i've done atleast 15 tests along with other herpetologists.....:nuts:
