Anybody heard of megazorb bedding???

[Naughty2nice]

Hi after all the great answers i recieved on aspen and buying in bulk i thought I would ask another question and see what response i get.
(btw i found a suppiler of aspen and of the other stuff"aubiose" as recommended by several of you so many thanks xx)

Here is my question :
Have any of you heard of or do you use megazorb wood pulp as bedding for snakes??? a friend recomended it but i had never heard of it before. And if you use it is it good? does it look like reptibed by any chance?(a brown cardboard papery stuff ??)

the write up for megazorb is below i just copied and pasted the whole page so first part of it goes on about horse bedding followed by smaller animals and right at the end reptiles. if you can help with the ansawer please reply kind regards Abby

Very Economical Budget to use 10 bags to make initial bed, plus half bag per week thereon ! Natural Fibre Dried wood fibre pulp. Dust Free & Sterile Dried and sterilised at temperatures up to 500 degrees celsius killing mould, spores and bacteria, dust extracted twice. Ideal for horses with C.O.P.D. Superior Absorbency 10 x better than straw, 4 x better than shavings. Fresher Stables bsorbs stable odours therefore reducing insect problems. Environmentally Friendly Biodegradable, so breaks down quickly into garden compost resulting in smaller muck heaps. Ideal for Rubber Mats Hints & Tips Here are some useful hints for getting the best from your Megazorb bedding. Ideally start with a clean box. Make the initial bed using 8 to 10 bags of Megazorb (depending on size of box). Remove droppings daily (easily done using a shavings fork). After the first week, add another bag of Megazorb. Continue with daily removal of droppings. From the second week on, adding half a bag of Megazorb weekly should be sufficient to maintain a super warm and comfortable bed. From this time on, it is a good idea to completely remove very wet patches and replace them with a small quantity of fresh Megazorb. Caution: The mixing of other bedding materials with Megazorb could well reduce the advantages we claim. Obviously results will vary with the type of box/stall in use and the habits of the animal in question. However, you can look forward to making big savings on the cost of conventional bedding and huge savings in time ! We believe Megazorb has the highest absorbency of any bedding currently on the market, thus reducing cleaning out costs. You will be amazed at how much smaller your muck heap is ! Megazorb is totally biodegradable, thus leading to easier and cheaper waste disposal. Megazorb is environmentally friendly and promotes natural odour control.
FOR SMALL ANIMALS
Megazorb is excellent if you keep small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters, rats, etc, etc. Megazorb is highly absorbent, providing a comfy and dry nest for your pet. It absorbs odours, therefore reducing insect problems and creating a 'friendlier' environment for you. It is dried and sterilised at temperatures up to 500 degrees celsius killing mould, spores and bacteria, dust extracted twice. As well as our furry friends, you can also use as bedding in reptile tanks.

Ive never used it for reps, but have used it for rodents and it worked wonders for the ones with allergies.

The only thing i found with it was it smelt really bad!

Its not the cardboard stuff btw

I used to use it when i bred rats and mice,the first few sacks i used were fine then they changed something in it and it started to smell like poop,lol,i stopped using it after that cos it really did smell bad,i also wouldn't recommend it at all for reps as it can be quite dusty,not as dusty as woodshavings and the like but too dusty to use for reps that are so close down into it,thats my opinion anyway
It looks like tiny chewed up balls of grey paper,lol,like mini dry spit wads,heheh!!
