Some people say not to mist the tank if you are using aspen because it will get moldy... Some people say aspen works great. Could she also be out a lot because she's ready to eat? I fed her last Wednesday and planning to feed her tomorrow. Also do I need to have a scale to monitor her weight? Or is it just mainly breeders who need scales? I don't want to seem like such a noob but I guess it's normal to have questions when you have a new pet...

Honestly 9/10 of us feed in the enclosure. A snake eats dirt and twigs in the wild all the time. A lil is not hurt if he ingests it. Snakes are not as fragile as people think.
Feeding in a separate container can cause undue stress and possibly through off feed or regurgitate a meal. Also you are more likely to get bit while moving them around in feed mode..
