Re: What kind of bedding You use in your Rack???
I personally dont use racks but I have done a lot of reading around and I would have to say a lot of people love to use carefresh. I use carefresh bedding for me and my girlfriends hamsters, and it's so easy to cleanup, and it eliminates odors. You can easily tell if carefresh bedding has been urinated or pooped on also lol. Probably the easiest to clean and most comfortable bedding. Cheap also.
EDIT - in my ball pythons tank I use cocnut fibre for a more natural look, but for racks go for carefresh.

I use unprinted newspaper in my rack, but I'm thinking of switching to shredded aspen. The newspaper is nice because it’s amazingly easy to clean and super cheap, but it just seems to me that aspen (or any type of safe wood based bedding) feels more natural for the snake, and you have the option of spot cleaning.

Worst bedding ever for reptiles due to higher increase in Pneumonia from the bedding and pee absorption

Unprinted newspaper here. I'm not a fan of spot cleaning anyway as I always feel I've missed some of the pee. Cleaner just the take out the old and place in the new.

I use newspaper. It is easy to get, cheap, and easy to clean (no loose bedding falling on the floor when I clean). I would really like to switch to unprinted newspaper but I do not know where to get it.
