I also use aspen. I like the look of it, and the fact that it does a good job of absorbing. My corns and gray-bands also like to burrow in it, in addition to using their hides.
I feed smaller snakes in another container, or use paper towels in their cages. For larger snakes, I usually feed in the cage, either with tongs, or by putting the food item on a paper towel.
I have occasionally seen a snake get a piece of aspen stuck in their mouth while feeding. If I am able, I grab it with my tongs. In some cases the snake is able to dislodge it themselves. In cases where the aspen gets swallowed, there has never been a problem.
