Aspen/cleaning

[piper]

I wasn't sure where to post this, as this applies to all my snakes. I'd like to switch them all to aspen but I was wondering how spot cleaning works with this? Sometimes one of them will pass urates or something and there's no smell so the only way I can tell is because they're on paper towels right now. Will I have to dig around daily? Does all the aspen need to be changed out each time? Is it a pain in the butt in comparison to paper towels?

thanks!

If you can afford paper towel and don't mind the look, I'd stick with it.. I have 1 of mine on aspen because she's in an aquarium and it's good for humidity, but when I cleaned it out last, it eventually gets pretty messy. Spot cleaning is easy, but some of the waste goes underneath the aspen and you don't notice til you clean the whole thing. Also, feeding.. It can get caught in their mouths as well.

It's personal preference, probably something you'd have to just try yourself and see if you like it and don't mid cleaning.

Cheers,

Mike
