If I put it down in the cage, should it be placed on top of the substrate (aspen) or put somewhere else where the substrate won't get on it and risk the chance of the substrate being ingested by the snake?

Thanks in advance for you help.

what i do with my little guy is i put the f/t rodent in warm water, let it sit for 3 mins. Then i let it dry move my snake in a different tub and dangle the mouse in front of him. try it. you don't wanna risk the chance of him swallowing substrate.Usually works good for me. let it sniff it for a bit make it look like the mouse is sniffing it or touching it, mine little guy goes ape on it lol.
