Have you considered Hemp products which are much more readily available (from horsey outlets) and about half the price.

Yeah mee to, i use aubiose, £8 for a 20kg sack, looks good and when the snake goes to the toilet, it sort of soaks it all up in one clump, theres no liquid spreading all over the surface, just pick up in clumps and bin it.

The only downside for me is when i get my snakes out, sometimes they like to waft it all in the air with there tails and it gets everywhere, all over the carpet lol, then i have to hoover up again
