Literally have everything to go bioactive. I guess my draw back is I’ll have a harder time finding him. So Aspen or Bio?

Not that the advice would be any different (because your suggestion still works) but this thread is about a corn snake, not a BP.

Actually this is for a corn snake

I would stick with aspen for now and then maybe later on go bio if you still want. I am not crazy about bio myself but to each his own……

I like aspen for my corns. They do enjoy their tunnels.

Well against popular opinion I decided to go bioactive. Mainly because I had already purchased the biodude corn snake kit 6 months ago. Springtails and Isopods will be here tomorrow. What do you think of my landscaping job lol?

Ok all is going well but I have a question with humidity and my clean up crew. I feel like in order to have the substrate damp enough for the isopods my humidity is roughly 80%. Will that be harmful for my snake?

80 percent is too high. 40 to 50 percent is best for corns. You need some isopods that don’t require high humidity.
Edit to add: yes humidity that is too high can cause problems with your corn. Corns are not tropical snakes. But they can tolerate a range of temperatures.

Oh I just realized I do have arid isopods. Powder blue and orange. I’ll drop that humidity

Most isopods get along just fine in an enclosure where they can access damp somewhere but they don’t need the whole enclosure humid. They just need somewhere to go to rehydrate. If you’re worried about isopods and humidity, keep a little teeny damp patch of sphagnum moss in a corner and rewet it every few days.
Sounds like you have p. pruinosis, and yeah, they don’t need to be 80% by any means.
