What kind of bedding do snakes need?

The kind of snake bedding needed depends on the species and the type of habitat they require. For burrowing species, bedding should be lightweight and soft enough that the snake can dig through it. For tropical species that require a humid environment, substrate that holds moisture may be more appropriate.

What kind of substrate is best for snakes?

The best substrate for snakes includes paper-based bedding, coconut husk, cypress much, and aspen wood shavings. Reptile carpet may be appropriate for non-burrowing snakes and sphagnum moss can be used in humid hides to support healthy shedding.

What should I put at the bottom of my snake's cage?

Put something non-toxic and easy to clean at the bottom of your snake's cage. Disposable cage liners, paper towels, or newspaper work well. Depending on individual species requirements, you may also need to add several inches of bedding to enable burrowing or to help maintain humidity.

How deep should snake bedding be?

Snake bedding should be at least 2–3 inches deep. The ideal depth may depend on the size of your snake and their burrowing habits. Small species like corn snakes may only require 2–3 inches of bedding while larger ball pythons might prefer 4–6 inches of bedding.

How often should you change snake substrate?

Spot clean your snake substrate daily to remove waste and soiled bedding. Depending on factors such as species, habitat size, and humidity levels, you will need to completely replace the substrate anywhere from once a week to once a month.
