Eco-earth or Aspen for bedding?

Is Aspen or eco-earth better bedding for ball python? Humidity sits at 40% for both. I recently switched from eco-earth to aspen today but it's the big pieces im not sure my ball likes it lol

Depends if you struggle with humidity, go with Eco, if you don't and your humidity etc is ok with aspen use that, personal preference I think.

Seems like they both hover at 40% humidity for some reason. How can improve this? Isn't it suppose to be 50-60? I have a standard glass tank with top with holes.

Check that thread out, it's all about glass tanks how to set them up etc..

With glass tanks the humidity tends to leave quicker so people take measures to ensure this doesn't happen, by putting towels, foil tape etc.. On the top, But I have no personal experience in this so maybe reading through that thread will help, good luck!

Based on another post I read, I tried this and it's been pretty good at raising the humidity during shed time. If I was going to use it all the time would probably use a small 'reptile water bowl' or maybe heavy glass bowl.
Basically you roll up a few paper towels into a 'tube' and put each end in the water. The device's Patented Capillary Action™ draws water up from the container as the water evaporates off of the top. You'll be surprised at how much water this uses as it is constantly being pulled up from the bowl and into the air of the enclosure.
