well that makes me feel better...i couldn't figure out where it would come from and i did just change the substrate...so how would i treat bags of aspen? I could use a difft substrate but I like the aesthetics of aspen.

I will be using paper towels for a few days so I can easily see if there are any more.

I found a great way to inspect the snake is to hold him up to a white computer screen in a dark room....using the bright white screen as a backdrop makes it easy to inspect him closely

thanks for the replies
