Thanks man. I switched him back to aspen as well as all the other snakes and he seems much happier on it. He doesn't really push anymore. I don't think was a fan of the Reptichips. He used to push it aside and lay on the cage floor. Now he lays on the aspen. Also the aspen seems to soak up his piss better and is a lot easier to spot and spot clean. His face was facing the front but I was bugging him and kept petting him and he kept pushing my hand away. Finally I think he got irritated and turned his face to the back of the cage haha. His face is starting to turn a lot more white. Be interesting to see how he looks in a few years as he is still kind of a baby at 17 months old.
