    The cheapest is paper towels or newspaper! I don't use these myself but they are cheap! I like aspen or coco fibre!

    I'd say if BHB uses them, then they're good! I'd do a google search on where to buy them.

    We use Aspen. Since your just using it for 2 snakes, buy it at Wal-Mart. It's 2.97 a bag

    i use to use aspen but found it much easier to clean 25 tubs of snakes with unprinted paper. They can use there hides in there and go under the paper if they need to. But aspen works great.

    Re: Bedding

    If you want to use Aspen, then you can buy it in large quantities and it's much cheaper. I think it comes in 20 or 25 pound bags. I see it at the reptile show I go to. I think you can buy it at feed stores too. They do have them in large chips and finer shaving type.

    Good Luck!
