Help finding the right snake bedding?

Question

I want to know what bedding is good for a ball python. I tried several different kinds but I don't know if their the right kind for her.

Answer 1

Our local petting zoo and rescue uses rabbit pellets. It's easy to clean up, safe, and inexpensive.

Answer 2

A great bedding for snakes and pythons is Cypress mulch.  A lot of people have their own preferences - and no one answer is completely correct.

To me personally cypress mulch or wood chips works well, and looks great.

A lot of people also use paper towels, carefresh (a recycled newspaper product), newspaper, woodchips, etc.

Using any reptile safe bedding really depends on what YOU like, depending on ease to clean and whether you want a more natural look and feel to your animals enclosure.  

Answer 3

well you can either do really easy like paper towls, newspaper, normal paper anything like that. or you  can  do wood bark, those brick things that turn to soil in water. you can do anything just do some reaserch. you find something you and your python like

Answer 4

Aspen shavings or chips work great. Newspaper and paper towels are also good.

Answer 5

wood chips are good just make sure you get them from a pet store because some wood is harmfull to snakes and lizards  

Answer 6

just use normal hamster bedding That's what i use. Snake bedding is too expensive and aspen can be harmful because they are sharp pieces. But don't get cedar because that's poisonous...

Answer 7

Try  wood chips

its like a natural habitat to them

Answer 8

Aspen is one of the safest.  Don't use pine or cedar as they have oils that are irritating.  Care fresh, newspaper or reptile carpet can also be used.  Avoid any kind of sand or gravel.  You do need to keep the humidity up by providing a large water bowl (big enough for the snake to fit in) and misting the environment as needed.
