I like aspen too, for all my lot except the smallest corns, as I can't find their little budgie-droppings in it lol.

Maybe shop is thinking if your going to feed in the viv? Small bits stick to the mouse/rat?
I've just gone from orchid bark to aspen, easier to see the mess

Yep, i use aspen, it looks great and its really absorbant for those little snakey accidents. makes spot cleaning nice and easy. Just scoop up the soiled aspen and chuck another handful in.
