I must have missed something along the way...where was there an attack? Other than yours, that is.
I agree with D80, nowhere in your first post did it mention why your snake shed in 34 pieces. We infered it was from the substrate based on the way you were talking. And if you knew it was from a 'cut' from your female (What're they doing together? Oh thats right, naturalistic...they live on top of one another down in the SE, eh?) then why go all out and complain about the aspen?
If you want a naturalistic display, go ahead, use dirt and stuff. Let your snake slither through mold and fecal bacteria laden substrate. One thing missing from the wild is the ability of the snake to leave once it's done its business. In a cage they don't have that luxury.
Sure aspen isn't exactly the most natural looking thing from where cornsnakes naturally reside, I mean I've never seen a woodchipper in the wild..and aspen trees don't quite exist in the Southeast. They're a Rocky Mountain phenomenon as far as I've seen. They've got poplars and cottonwood, close enough I guess.
Re-reading back through I see no talking down to, no belittling, no harassement, no nothing other than some informative discussing about substrates and how your one instance of aspen being 'bad' is how you base your opinion of it. If you didn't want flies in your mouth, keep it shut.
