Corn snake substrate: Fir yes or no?

[FISH4LIFE]

Hello I am looking at setting up a terrarium for a corn snake i have some substrate left over from when I had frogs, It is made by exoterra and is called forest bark. The thing is is that it is made of fir and i have read alot of different information of the net saying it is fine or it will harm my snake what is the real answer?

Thanks

If I were you I would just clean it out as your frogs may have something that the snake could catch and get sick from (cross contamination). Also I haven't heard anything about fur or whatever but I just use aspen bedding for my corn. Nice looking, easy for her to burrow in (something they love doing), and pretty easy to spot clean. Just my opinion though.

I don't think bark is good for snakes. I use and recommmend this http://www.pet-dog-cat-supply-store.com/shop/shop_image/product/f1e5b937ee210d4cdc9f9438ba27fbea.jpg

fur will be fine for snakes. it is not necessary for corn snakes though. i usually use bark for the humidity. since corns aren't a high humidity snake you really don't need it, but it will work. just be careful as mentioned above of cross contamination.

I may have worded that incorrectly its is not the exact stuff that I used for my frogs just the same kind of substrate. I was going to go aspen but I am getting a lighter coloured snake so it would look better on a dark subsrate than a lighter one.
