Both of my apricots are squirmy and musk when I pick them up, even the older one (06). They do like to burrow and Aspen is an excellent substrate for this. I use newspaper as it is cheaper and I have other snakes as well. Make sure your hide is not too big, the snake will like it snug. You can put hides on the cool and warm side of the cage. If you use Aspen I would feed the snake in a temporary container so he doesn't ingest the substrate.



Have fun, be patient. They are beautiful snakes.
