Great collection! Is that the red aspen? Is it difficult to spot clean because of the color?

nope. it is kittys crumble.i think it is made from coconut husk. just tried it out. one thing i hate is when it sticks to the snakes mouth when feeding.
Re: Some pics of my breeders and future breeders. (DUW)
Does the sticking occur often?

yup almost every time. what i do is when my snake strikes the prey item i clean up a part of the bin and move the snake there so no substrate is ingested. i think il shift back to news papers after this. what i hate about news paper is that it gets to soaked to quickly. too bad aspen is not available here.
Re: Some pics of my breeders and future breeders. (DUW)
I'm using newspaper, and although it's cheap...cleanup is more often and annoying

I went through the same thing with paper towels, it was truly a pain.
I use aspen now, but have you ever considered cypress mulch? Works just as well. I use it for my Bloods and my Dumeril's.
Re: Some pics of my breeders and future breeders. (DUW)
That is a gorgeous collection!
I do have to jump in here about the substrate, I work at a small pet store here, its locally owned and all, great little store. I have heard everything about bedding. Those bedding do have a tendency to get stuck to the snake while feeding, something that does work REALLY well is something called "cell sorb". It is newspaper that has been compressed into loose pellets. It works well because you know when you have to clean up part because when the snake goes to the bathroom on it, it breaks up, and loses shape, and it absorbs the ammonia, keeping it smelling not as bad as it can get. Its also relatively cheap, it runs around $28 for a 40 lb bag. I have personally used it, and its worked very well.
Sorry for going on a little rant there... hope I helped some.
