    I use aspen for all my snakes and never had a problem with it. It's easy to spot clean and the snakes love to burrow in it.

    At the time this poll was created, I was using aspen - now I'm switching every one to newspaper. SOOOOO much easier, and like Adam has said before - when it's clean, it's clean!


    I never feel that with spot cleaning aspen that I truly got every wet piece of aspen out, AND I could never be neat with it, so there'd always be aspen all over the floor when I was done! LOL

    With newspaper, take it out, clean the tub, pop in fresh paper, and you're done - I'm sold! LOL

    LOL!

    I used to use aspen also. I wasn't that messy with it , but it got pretty hard to clean sometimes, and I couldnt controll the humidity that well, its good for cornsnakes.


    Newspaper ink can get pretty messy and get on the snake , so I use paper towel, it is really absorbant, and easy to get and dispose of, and easy to buy! Newspaper can be too, but I don't want to subscribe for it and only read the sports and classifieds.

    I don't subscribe to the paper either, but do pick up the Atlanta Sunday paper. It's HUGE and can easily keep my kiddos papered for two weeks.

    I used to use paper towels a until Adam told me about some snake surgeries he witnesses from paper towel impaction. NO THANKS! I swithed to newpaper and sometimes kraft paper(on albinos, no ink stains). I have a subsription to Barron's and it fits perfectly in the CB-70's and the 32 qt. tubs. Very fast, clean and easy to replace! :carrot:

    I use Aspen. The breeder who sold me my BP lets me stop by his shop whenever I need more. Can't beat free! :P
