No worries, keep asking any and all questions. After all, that is how we learn, and believe me, we all ask questions, as you can never stop learning.

The others are right about the green turf, and I personally would skip it.

You concern about feeding the snake on aspen is understandable. Like Randy said below, make sure that if you are using FT, then dry off the food item as completey as possible. TGCorley had a great idea about using the index card to be underneath the hidebox when the food item is placed inside. You can also just move the aspen away from the hidebox area, creating a " hole " in the aspen, leaving just the glass bottom of the tank showing, placing the food item there, then placing the hidebox back on top of where the bare area of the bottom of the tank is. I have also heard of just using an open plastic container with no lid, and placing that in the cage, with the food item inside, and placing the snake in there. Then, he just eats, and crawls out the open top when done.

Stick with FT.

Take care!
