I agree. Aspen is very easy to keep clean, all you need is to spot clean. The only promlem you need to watch is feed small snakes pinkies, the aspen tends to stick to the pinkies. Bigger snakes don't have any problems.

As much as kings go, I think aspen is easier to deal with. I use carpet for my Ball Python, but they don't defecate as much as colubrids.
