What bedding do you use??

[koloo921]

I'm wondering what bedding everyone uses? Right now I use newspaper and clean the tubs once a week with dawn dish soap. I have heard a lot of people using cypress mulch, spot cleaning daily, and only changing once a month. That seems a lot easier.

What is everyones opinions??

I used cypress mulch for all my snakes except for the females being paired during breeding season (they are on newspaper)

Yup, I use cypress mulch for anything that's in a display cage (not in tubs) because it helps me with the humidity (and I need all the help I can get!). Spot clean the second I find something, and clean it all out about once a month.

However, for newer or younger snakes I keep them on paper towels so that
1. I can watch for mites
2. I can easily see their stool and urine to make sure everything is normal
3. I eliminate the possibility of them ingesting substrate, so that I can avoid them going off feed as much as possible.

Why are your females on newspaper? Do they get stuff sucked in?

I use Cypress Mulch in my adult cages even during breeding season.....Helps with humidity is very easy to clean, In my baby & juvie cages I use newspaper.

Paper Towels for the hatchlings and Unprinted Newspaper for the adults. If I wanted to do a display tank, I'd use Aspen.

In tubs I use paper towel or unprinted newspaper because I usually won't need the extra humidity provided by the cypress.
