What bedding should you use for a garter snake?

For a garter snake, aspen shavings, coconut fiber, or reptile carpet are ideal bedding options. Aspen shavings are absorbent and provide a natural substrate, while coconut fiber retains humidity and aids in burrowing. Avoid cedar or pine shavings, as they can be harmful to snakes. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the bedding are essential for the snake's health.
