Greg,
I use newspaper as a substrate. It's thick and when I see the snakes eyes have cleared after being blue, I dump the water bowl in the cage and let it be wet. I never keep track of how long a snake stays blue; just wet them down the day they clear back up.
Any way that works for you is fine. We all find something that works and keep it. I just do things the easiest, laziest way.That's why I'm a zoo keeper: I had a real job years ago and didn't like it. Hey, at least I incubate the eggs in vermiculite. Dean uses his underwear. He never made it clear to me if he's still wearing it or not.
Good luck,
Steve
