Whats a good bedding for cornsnakes?

The title says it all. We know papertowl is always safest and easiest and thats what we use but our snakes keep refusing to use the papertowl as they should. They constantly slide under it and hide from view and shit directly on the tank glass!

Paper towel is what I've always used for mine and I was very happy with it. Do you provide a hide for your corn(s)? That may be a reason.

We do. But they STILL do it. Were going to try aspen mulch.

I would suggest aspen as well.

I use repti-bark and havent had any probs. If you do use a loose substrate dont feed them directly on the tank floor as u probly alredy no.

For corns, paper towels, newspaper, or aspen shaving all work.

From the research that I've done for my soon-to-be-owned corn snake, I found that aspen is one of the popular choices aside from paper towels. I read somewhere that the repti-bark must be heated first to kill off any mites.

Repti bark or other bark for reptiles found in pet stores is already heat treated, so you dont need to heat it. If you were to buy bark or mulch from a garden store or something, it would need to be heated.

For my corn I use Desert Snow. It is a product made by T-REX. It is pure white and shows off the color of my corn. It is very easy to spot clean, so I don't have to replace bedding. I highly recommend it. Cheap too!!

I have bought repti bark and it does have little bugs not mites, it's from the moisture in the bag.

I use Aspen for my cornsnakes.
They love to burrow underneath it.
