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

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. |

| 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 |

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..... |
