Don`t really think that there is such a thing as a general all round substrate suitable for all species. If there was life would certainly be a lot simpler. _________________ YSBRYDOLI POBL, GWELLA LLEOEDD

, that's better...naming cornsnakes gives your poll a more meaningfull purpose
I'd go with Aspen but you didn't list that...so newspaper would be my second choice. _________________

I ticked sawdust as it was the closest to Aspen which is what we use. Brookie loves it as its great for tunneling, I like it because it's easy to remove poos, very absorbent and smells nice (except when there's a fresh poo!) |

I'd be carefull using sawdust..as its very dusty and could become an irritant?  _________________
