    Newspaper seems to be the preferred method of bedding around here. I think i'm going to switch soon...

    Newspaper is the easiest way to clean, specially if you have more than a couples of sakes. You don't want to spend to much on substrate that you'll have to buy too often.

    As long as you keep the cage clean. Remember that some substrates are dangerous to snakes, specially BP's.

    Newspaper is perfectly fine! I started with aspen, then moved to newspaper with aspen on top. Now I only use the newspaper. SOOOO EASY, to clean. :D

    No ink has rubbed off on mine. And even if it did, it's harmless...long time ago, the newspaper industry switched to a non-toxic vegetable based ink. If I remember right, I believe its the oils on our hands that cause the ink to rub off on our fingers.....a problem snakes don't have. ;)

    i just use paper towels. super easy like newspaper, almost as cheap (if you just buy bulk generic brand at target or something), and - i know it doesn't matter - but I like that it's a little bit softer. :D I generally have it about 3-4 layers thick on the bottom of my tanks.
