Hey guys, I have actually been using aspen bedding in my torts indoor cage that houses my pair of russians. they have a half log hide under the heat lamp and really dig digging and burrowing in the bedding LOL!! They can burrow down wherever in the cage they feel most comfortable temp wise and can pretty much completely cover themselves with the depth of bedding I give them. I do not have a humid hide for them, but I do keep a flower pot bottom in the cage with water at all times. So far, so good. The feces are pretty easy to detect and is near the surface for the most part. I noticed that when I clean the cage substrate entirely that there is very little "staining" on the bottom of the cage below the substrate as compared to a snakes cage with similar bedding. I pretty much scoop out the visible feces I see everytime I feed them, etc. I feed them on a paper plate each time to avoid accidental ingestion.
