    I'm personally started using Aspen, and I lightly mist it do to the fact that I don't want mold to build up. I'm thinking about getting some other substrate once I use up my Aspen bag.
    I'm looking for some substrate that can give me a goold humidity level.
    So what do you guys use?!

    I have repti-bark in one cage and the green reptile carpet. So far the carpet is easiest to spot the poo and easy to clean but the repti-bark looks the best and is easier to keep the humidity up to specs.

    I actually wanted to get Coconut Tusk before I bought the Aspen bedding, but I couldn't find it in any of my local pet stores.

    i've always used repti bark. for some reason i don't like the look or the hastle of newspaper. i figured, if he goes to the bathroom, i will have to take EVERYTHING out, change the newspaper, put everything back in...and do that every time he goes. with the repti bark, i just grab a plastic bag and take the poo out...works great

    Carpet for appearances, but paper for cleaning simplicity. It doesn't get easier than throwing it away every time.

    PWNED!

    I use aspen bedding. I have tried that Coconut husk but all it made was a mess and Jojo didnt like being on it he would crawl on his hides and water bowl and never touch the stuff. And when he did get on the ground he would move over his water bowl and it would all go in his water so i stopped using it. Some people have had success using it but i have not. I would use it for an amphibian or something like that but not for a snake.
    Thanks,
    Damien
