Milk/Corn snake bedding.

Ok so I know the most recommended type of bedding for these snakes is aspen. I have a 4 year old corn and a 1 year old milk. And to be honest I really hate aspen, I like my tanks to look as naturalistic as possible, minus leo who has repti-carpet. My other tanks have eco-earth or are aquatic tanks. I've looked at a lot of care sheets and I have not seen anyone recommend it, however I have not seen anyone who says to not use it. So I wanted to know if anyone out there has used eco-earth/bed-a-beast for corns or milks. If I have to I can stick with aspen/papertowel, I just really like to have naturalistic setups with live plants and such, and can't really do that with aspen. So let me know if anyone has or no someone who has used it with success. I really can't see how it would be bad for them besides making the humidity too high? But if it's dry and I have a well ventilated tank I can't see the difference between that and cypress mulch (another recommended substarte).

Eco Earth will be fine as long as it's not TOO damp. You may have to leave it sit, after you've expanded it, for a day or two so it can dry out a bit.

Eco Earth will look great and will work fine but..
keeping it dry is a daunting task. Thats why I use aspen for all my snakes
