5 gal. tank?

[Sonya610]

I bought some and thought about using it for the Garters. I am using it now for the ball python BUT it seems like it would be harder to spot clean compared to aspen.

BP's are a lot less poopy. Do you think it is as easy as aspen to clean? Takes a while to soak the stuff and dry it out so it if has to be replaced frequently that seems like a lot of hassle.

I have experimented and found that using less water than the instructions call for, and manually busting the brick up yields a nice substrate without waiting for it to dry out.

It may be a slight hassle, but this stuff ships easy, and online deals are everywhere, so it's a good choice for me.

after the snakes have soiled it, re-use it as plant mulch.
