I was wondering this aswell, I was worried it would get stuck in their eyes though.

I'd stick with hemp..because i know if they ingest that it can't cause impaction.wheras i'm not sure with aspen..better to be safe than sorry

Yeah, but equally..most snake owners don't feed directly on the bedding..majority feed in seperate tubs...or if u have strange snakes like mine, they strike the food then just go in their hides n eat in there (tunnel type things which don't touch the substrate)

If it's the long stringy kind of aspen it can get wrapped around little ones neck..........should be okay for adults, although compared to a bale of hemp its very expensive.

I use aspen because i cannot get hemp anywhere in or around Reading. I have only seen one bag of hemp in a place near Bristol and it looked like the aspen i am using.
