    Question Paper Towel Question

    Opinions on balling up paper towel sheets and putting them in my adult balls home? I'm guessing the outcome can only be positive but I'd love to hear what you have to say. A pic of her (Aza's) home currently is up in my gallery. Thanks everyone

    Re: Paper Towel Question

    it works. it worked with my male when i had him in a big enclosure. now he's in a nice tub. i used newspaper, but i dont see why paper towels wouldn't have the same result though.

    Not something I'd bother doing, just makes for more cleaning. Each to their own however.

    Re: Paper Towel Question

    I use newspaper myself for that just because it tends to stay more tented and easier to remove to clean, etc. I've found it a great trick to help a shy snake settle in, a nervous baby BP start feeling safe enough to eat and once upon a time, an extremely aggressive 1,900 plus gram female who couldn't calm down enough to even use her hides. It's a great little trick, costs nothing, isn't that much extra cleaning and heck always worth a try I figure. One thing is don't just suddenly remove the srunched up paper product. Better to remove a few pieces a week until you can be sure the snake is settling in fine without it.
