I may have to take the aspen out of my tank and swap with paper towel or newspaper. I can't find my snakes! Boo Hoo! They are hiding from me.

I saw the eastern poke it's head out from under the water dish at lunch time, and the radix was exploring when I got home. Still haven't seen the coast, though someone was under the aspen at the back of the tank.

My question is this: will the little guys be too exposed with no shavings to hide in? I definitely want them to settle in, but I'd like to be able to check on them, and see that they are eating. Any thoughts?
