Re: Aspen?
I started using shredded aspen for my BP but even misting twice a day in a PVC cage couldn't keep humidity up so after a few weeks switched to compressed cocohusks which worked fine until spring hit and warmer and more humid weather meant I couldn't drop the humidity no matter what I did and ended up with mold. So now use cypress mulch for higher humidity snakes like my boa and BP, adds redoing a 48x24x16 and a 24x24x12 every 4-6 weeks but I prefer keeping everything clean and sanitized and helps with moisture to. My kingsnake is on sanichips, nice contrast dark snake on light substrate, more desert look but like others have mentioned spot cleaning is easy and not needing to maintain higher then ambient humidity it's a non issue.
