Not to sure about the aspen bedding but you should always feed you snakes in something like a cardboard box IMO this way you don’t have to worry about things such as the snake swallowing anything from the enclosure as well as you wont get the problem of the snake associating the enclosure opening with feeding time. I found this out first had via 2 attacks from a Burmese Python I use to keep. Since then all my snakes do not ever eat in there enclosure and so far no other problems. If you click on the link below it will take you to a page with common snake health problems. If your snake dose in fact have a RI then it will tell you what steps to take. Good luck and keep us up to date.
