    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

"Sun Seed" substrates?

I was just shopping online for some large quantities of substrate and came across a brand called "Sun Seed". They sell Aspen in large quantities for a low price, but it looks like it's targeted more towards snake food than snakes (i.e. bunnies, birds and guinea pigs). Has anyone used this for their snakes before? I notice they sell something called "Aspen Crumble Bedding". Has anyone tried this, or know whether it's safe to use for my snakes? I tried to search here, but there doesn't appear to be any threads for this brand...

Thanks!

Hi Eddie,
I have always bought aspen for small animals - I don't think there is any difference. I can't quite tell, but it looks like those bags are 950 cu.in. (?) I get a 2.0 cu.ft. bag from TSC for $9.99. The shipping from that place is going to kill you - it's more than the cost of the product.
I can't comment on the aspen crumbles, I've used something similar for rodents before, but never the snakes.
