Can I use Repti carpet for my ball python when he goes into his 36" enclosure or is aspen 100x better and should be used? Is it also alright to use aspen when hes a baby and then change him to repti carpet when hes older?
Thanks alot,
Luke. |

Hmm also Ive noticed that the closest measurements for the repti carpet is 36"x 15" however the vx36s measure 36"x18.5" does this mean that it wont fit or is the internal measurements shorter than the external?
Please need a answer thanks alot,
Luke. |

Would it matter if there was an inch or so without the carpet?
I use Aspen or Aubiose (cheaper). |

There's a number on there to find your local supplier. I pay £9 for 25kg. |

BALE.... OMG
I've got one snake that's about 14" long and currently living in a little plastic tub...
I don't think a bale would be suitable for my needs. |

hmm looks like Aubiouse is quite spikey more straw like than aspen, aspen looks more safe and soft for the happyness of your snake wondering if I should buy that aspen looks more trustworthy lol.
Thanks Luke. |

| BE: Are you from Doncaster? Do you get your aubiouse from a local supplier? Tried phoning the enquiry number on the website and they gave me a number for a pet shop in Hatfield that had never heard of it? |
