    Hay jben,
    Where do you get blank newspaper from and what's the cost?

    Thanks,

    Dave, I got the 2 rolls of paper for free from my job, we have pallets of them that we used to use as voidfill but have not used in over 2 years so it's just sitting in the warehouse but if your interested i might be able to get the distributors info and prices for you. I'm pretty sure that U-line sells the same thing, you might want to check their website.

    I personally don't use either, I use aspen. It works great for me although I've considered switching to paper. My biggest complaint with paper is that the snakes usually push the paper up and get underneath it or just push it in the corner. To all of you breeders who use paper, how do you keep the snakes from pushing the paper in the corner or crawling underneath it?

    I help my father in law run an antique mall that he owns here in Charlotte. We go the the local paper and buy the rolls of unprinted paper, the ones that are low enough that they're still plenty of paper on them, but not enough for them to use any longer because they won't last the amount of printing they need or whatever. I'm not sure of the price but I can get it possibly, I'm sure you could call you local paper?
