>>Thanks Jimmy, I have to agree with you. I've kept mine on aspen for 5 years with no ill effects. But I'm always finding myself second-guessing this when I hear someone suggest something different, or rather, when someone says it could be harmful.

Ken,
One of the selling points for me was when I was reading Kathy Love's Corn Snake Manual and saw one of her trays with aspen shavings. That was enough for me. And I have never had a problem with it either. I will continue to use aspen until something better comes along.
