You should have said that in the beginning. Like it was already said the substrate is not going to be an issue. When it comes to snake keeping sometimes all you need to think about is "how would this get done in the wild?" I can promise you that your snake can handle a bit of aspen.Originally Posted by Lemmywinkzz
I will say that if you warm in hot water just dry the prey a little before offering to keep the aspen sticking to a minimum. But that is really all that is needed. Nothing crazy like feeding on a paper towel or plate is needed. Just drop the prey in or zombie dance it and the snake will handle the rest. I think once you try it you will actually enjoy feeding in the cage better.
Also do not let our little sarcastic remarks get to you. Just know that if you open the door many of us will walk through it. I wasn't trying to offend you I was just having fun with you. Also remember that you will probably never ask a question that has not been asked before so using the search feature will usually answer most noob questions without having to wait on responses.
Im glad your keeping an open mind and just realize that if the majority of the forum agrees on a method it is going to usually be your best bet in most situations. There can always be differences in each keepers practices and you will find us more than happy to throw out ideas or issues that most of us will be speaking from, like you said, "personal experience."
Good luck tonight. Welcome to the hobby! I hope you enjoy it.
