I use a foot on the cool side because i thought i was going to be keeping these cages in a room that was very cold in the winter... Turns out I have a whole room to dedicate to my snakes so the ambient temp is 78 so I dont need the cool side flexwatt... As far as the aspen... I say you can that Idea and just go with newspaper... It doesnt look as nice but its much much easier to clean.. Depending on the snake and how much it poops/pees you might need to be changing the aspen a couple times a week... could get pretty expensive over time... The newspaper is free after you buy it for like 35cents so mine as well get all the use out of it... What i do when i clean is take out the newspaper... wipe the vinyl down with a baby wipe... then wipe it down again with a clean towel... Works very good and takes like .2 to clean. Let me know if you need any other info on the tanks. good luck
Thanx JoshJP7. I didn't even think of what the cost of the aspen would be haha.

Ok, cool. Sounds like a plan. Thanx for all the info everyone...I'm off to HomeDepot!
