So the 30 day thing I understand, buy I have to disagree with the aspen thing. I've had and have every snake I've ever owned on aspen, never had a single issue with it. The only snakes I keep on paper towel are babies or snakes with medical issues. I personally live in British Columbia so literally a neighbor lol, I live in a Canadian rain forest and the humidity sits at 50% on its own so I only water during shedding and I never have grumpy snakes or sick snakes either, that being said they are in exos, my heat is fine as well even with glass. They sit at a steady 75 on the cold side and 90 on hot with uth. My main concern for the future is that the improper husbandry could lead to an unhappy snake. I'm a firm believer in trying your hardest to make an enclosure as natural as possible. Remember an animals needs are more important than what's convenient for us.
