I just recently got a new yearling Dumeril. I know these species prefers to burrow into their substrate so that is why I got him aspen bedding. But I have to admit, I hate using Aspen. My other snakes are on paper. I find aspen harder to spot the messes.

If it is necessary for him to be happy - I will continue with the aspen but I wanted to see what you all thought about it.

Your thoughts on the importance of being able to burrow.
