ASPEN, i love it.......however every week when its time for cleaning i shovel it all out, lay newspaper down and replace the old aspen with new.

I dont like feeding on it becuase im paranoid of my snakes ingesting it. So i either laydown newspaper over it when feeding or completly take it out,clean and replace it with new aspen after each feeding. Keeps the rack clean, keeps the snakes safe and makes us all happy.
