even over a heatmat? or do you heat from above?
3" of insulation from a heatmat would make it extremely difficult to get your viv up to temp.....
I have heatmat plus a heat lamp in the top of the viv on a stat so that it comes on when needed. |

I use about 3 inch, they love to burrow and I love seeing the tunnels they create through the aspen. |

like people have said above, not too much over the heatmat.........or the aspen will insulate the heat away from your snake and you'll struggle to get your temps up to normal |

Agreed with matty. I use a sprinkling in the warm end and used to throw loads in the cool end. he burrowed like a mole.
But i moved to using chippings. |

I dont use much over the hat mat, but an inch everywhere else. I wouldnt discourage burrowing, its natural. |
