Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
Agree with Adam. Also, I've never used the EcoEarth, but I imagine it's quite a pain to clean each month.
Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
It looks nice, but there's no way you can find all the urine soiled bedding to remove it.
Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
News paper has to be the cheapest and the easiest to clean.
Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
I use eco-earth for my gopher, and paper for my bp.....and I totally agree with the others that paper is MUCH easier to keep clean and KNOW it's clean. Eco-earth is nice, though, if you don't mind the extra effort it takes. It makes for a very pretty viv.
Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
I've tried all substates and I would have to say newspaper makes cleaning day so much easier and faster. I could see using it if you just had one snake, but not for alot of us who have many.

Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
heres a trick for all of us who have multiple snakes that saves time and is very to clean and makes a more natural setting...i use reptibark or cypress..i know its a pain to clean..so i go in w/ a shop vac and suck out all the substrate in seconds then u just dump it out..its easy..and it can suck wet and dry...just my 2 cents ;)
Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
I only use eco earth for my gecko..
I used to use aspen for my snakes but I got sick of it.
Now I use paper towels for all the snakes.
