Agreed.
Re: How often do you switch substrate?
I only have one snake, but I take everything out once a month, sanitize the inside and all things inside and put down new aspen substrate which I get at walmart for about 3 or 4 dollars a bag. I put down a causal amount of aspen I can so the walmart bag lasts me 2 or 3 months. I do this to help prevent mold and health issues.

How humid is your enclosure?
I have a boa that at times I've had the humidity at 80% and never had mold on the aspen.

Me neither, I've never had mold on aspen either but I clean out once a month as my own personal decision
to keep things healthier. It might be UN-necessary but I don't mind cleaning out monthly, I don't mind the work
and not much expense but I only have one snake. If I had several I would probably try to stretch it out longer too.
My humidity usually is 50 or 60 tops since I have a glass tank and overhead heat lamps and che and I think the eco-earth type
substrate is better for going longer than a month. Really loved it as far as cleaning goes. But stopped when
my snake at the time was getting mouth fulls of it and yes I like aspen too.
