No, cedar is toxic to snakes. When in contact with cedar oil or bedding, it can cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, and potentially harm their central nervous system. It's important to avoid using cedar with snakes as a bedding material or in their environment.

The name of the beast that comes from the Latin word "to crawl" is "reptile." This name refers to cold-blooded animals that crawl or move by dragging their bodies along the ground, such as snakes, lizards, and turtles.
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.
Yes, Sevin is relatively safe to use on snakes. However, I have found the best way to get rid of mites is to place the infected snake in a covered bucket of water for a couple hours while you thoroughly clean out the cage, wash it and replace the bedding. The mites usually drown. May have to be repeated again after a few weeks if the mites return.

I have two corn snakes, and they are very easy for me to care for. However, I have cared for Carpet Pythons, Reticulated Pythons, Rosy boas, Sand boas, Garter snakes, and many more, so what may be easy for me might not be that easy. Corn snakes are great beginner snakes (a corn was my first snake), but like any pet require commitment. You must clean the water dish every day, have locks on your at least 20 gallon reptile cage, use an appropriate bedding that is changed at least once a month (not cedar or pine, I use aspen or cypress bedding). They require handling to tame them down, and a weekly meal of appropriately sized mice.
