I don't mind that type of aspen, I used it with my boas in the past and currently use it for my colubrids. It should deff help keep humidity down compared to eco earth and coco husk type substrates.
I use a kitty litter scoop to run through it for spot cleaning to pull out the poops.

Re: Gene finally has a thread!
Aspen update, seems to be okay so far. A little hard to find pee but not to bad. It smells like a horse inside of their enclosures.
Gene Happy he got a jumbo rat a few days early. I have 4 Jumbos left, they don't leave a lump anymore but his pushing isn't any worse than it's always been. So not sure to bump him up or just leave him?

Gerald eats jumbos and they don’t leave a terribly big bump either. Big enough that I won’t increase size though. I feel like he and gene are close to the same size, Gerald may be a little smaller

Fed Rainbow a jumbo last night. You can see a little limp but not much of one. 3 weeks ago she eat 2 of them in one feeding. Last week she only eat one. This week only eat one and was looking for another. I think I am going to have to transfer her to rabbits full time. Will be placing an order in a week.
Gene looks great! Happy to see him doing so well despite the pushing.

Robin probably has a nest nearby and was protecting it. I have had them dive bomb me too when i got hear their nest tree. Lucky Gene didnt snatch it mid flight lol. My beardie snatched a wasp in mid flight. She leaped into the air and grabbed it as i was reaching for a paper to twist and swat it.

Re: Gene finally has a thread!
What are your guys ideas on how to seal wood enclosures? I've been really pushing around the ideas of making Gene an enclosure soon. I have a wall in the basement that the snakes are against that is around 7.5' long. I really want to make this a forever home for him. I want some height so I can get some limbs set up like Gio and Jacob. Melamine sucks because it's just co.pressed particle board.
Is fiberglass my only option? I've looked online but most stuff is just basic information.

Re: Gene finally has a thread!
I’ve been looking around at these options too. You could do an epoxy resin sealer? Like you would use on a wooden bar top. Coat every panel of the cage then assemble and caulk the seams to make it totally waterproof. Melamine would be the faster build but I agree, it’s just crappy particle board with a slick veneer. If/when I do build a big cage I’m going for cabinet grade plywood probably birch or maple with a light ebony stain and seal with a yet to be determined finish.
