Hi, I am setting up my Milk Snake's viv and I was wondering, shall I microwave the Aspen shavings or put them straight in?
Thanks,
Dan.

I put mine in the oven at 100C for 1 hour.

Well, I've heard that it can contain mite eggs so it is an attempt to kill them off.

I put mine in the freezer overnight when I first buy it, then its ready when I need it instead of having to bake a bit everytime I want some

Its just a precaution. The chips should be fine but if they have been stored near snakes that have mites at some point then they could contain eggs.

As above, just to get rid of any nasties.
