BP setup?

[The Serpent Merchant]

Took the hygrometer out to clean it (it had snake poop)
The aspen is about 3 inches deep.

I would thin out the substrate to 1/2" thick or less. a 3" layer of aspen simply isn't necessary and will make your under tank heater have to work much harder than necessary. (what is your thermostat set to?)
