Highlighted Reviews

β€” Crystalann

"We use this for our corn snake, western hognose snakes, and our Kenyan sand boa. Works great for them, and they always have perfect sheds. It's easy to just scoop clean from messes, and doesn't stink like other aspen sub I've used. It would be perfect if not for the bin."

β€” Annette

"They ain’t that the litter box was too tiny. I have no need for the litter so should I send it back to you guys and get a refund?"

Bottom Line

Highly recommended for snake owners. Great value.
