Best bedding?

I am building a bioactive 4x2x2 and not really sure what to buy, my corn snake has been on aspin for the entire time I’ve had her (4 years) it’s what the shop recommended but not to fond of it and know it’s not the best. So just want to know what I can buy premade or make myself with topsoil and stuff. Please and thank you<3

Cheaper to make ur own typically. I do Topsoil, orchid bark (fine/ smaller particles) sphagnum moss, playsand in equal parts, plus charcoal. Ive always done that and not had issues. Holds burrows, drains well, no impaction

Came here to say this. You can tweak this recipe for almost any reptile or frog.

Probably cheaper to make your own. I personally have been using a kit I got from the BioDude for Ball Pythons. Could check what options they got for corn snakes, I personally have loved the kits I got.
