    How much newspaper?

    How many layers of newspaper you use when you use it for substrate? I've got one down, and it doesn't seem to be enough. Also, if your sterilite container has curves in it, do you cut the paper to the curse or not worry about it?

    Only two days!

    Thanks!

    Re: How much newspaper?

    I use two layers and just fold the edges up the sides of the bin. My snakes always seem to defecate on an edge so the overlap helps to clean up.

    yea i use 2 sheets, and then fold the excess under. a couple of my balls like to get underneath the paper, so i some times use 4 or 5 sheets for them.

    I've only got one tub set up...but I use two sheets of paper cut to size. It works well for absorbing wastes without blocking too much heat from the UTH's below.
