Has anyone used or is using Sanichips as a substrate for royals?

I'm thinking of trying them in my RUB rack once it's built

Thanks

Never even heard of this - but it looks good - like a finer aspen.

Surrey pets does it too, though for some reason seems to recommend it for colubrids and geckos.

I wouldn't mind trying it out for the burrowers like Ziska and Shadrach - bet they'd love it, but with 14 snakes in the house, I tend to buy the biggest cheapest bales of substrate possible.

If I came across this at a price I wanted to pay, I'd definitely give it a go.

I saw them on surry reptiles and was put of by the colubrids recommendation, I've had a dig round on t'internet and it seems that a lot of US royal keepers and breeder use it. It's aspen based, just in a different form

Surry rep is showing them at about £4.50 per 11L. At that price I mite give them a go
