Aspen snakebedding

[ARBallMorphs]

Hey,

i am placing my snakes on Aspen snakebedding now and was wondering i can just use my spray bottle to mist? And what if the bedding gets someshat moist? Will it give scalerot to my snake? Or will if be ok? ( keeping them on paper towels at the moment).

It would have to be excessively wet.. soak one area (usually over heated area) and leave a dry area. I use aspen but have slowly been moving to newspaper cause I have racks and its easier to roll up paper than deal with cleaning aspen...

Ok thx.

i have them in a rack too but the paper towels get dry very fast and that way i find it hard to hold my humudity up

I Have my snakes on Aspen bedding and they're both in 28 qt sterilite tubs. to keep humidity up I have a large water bowl and in the corners I have sphagnum moss which I keep moist. I have to mist only twice a day, once in the morning and once before I go to bed. my levels go up to like 57-62% humidity.

I doubt scale rot would be an issue, unless you kept it soggy and didn't clean it as often.

If you spray your aspen it will develop mold very quickly.

I use aspen with hatchlings and never had to spray it.

If you have you humidity issues you want to use a substrate that you can spray and will hold humidity without molding.
