Besides, albinos, hypos, and pieds look nasty covered in newspaper ink ... So I order unprinted paper pre-cut to fit my boxes ... it's perfect. :D

Could say you have a rare albino ink smear BP. :rolleyes:
Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
My personal preference is the indented kraft paper. Price isn't an issue right now with my 1, lone BP. :P
Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
I like newspaper and papertowels on top - my boa and rankins dragon loves burrowing between the sheets of paper towel in preference to using a hide. I get my newspaper free from the estate agents shops as here in the Uk they always have great containers full of their free papers and I swipe a handful :P

I've never had the ink come off on my snakes, even when it gets wet. Although I imagine you would have to subscribe to nearly every paper in the country to keep up with your needs. :)
Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
I was told that the brick stuff could cause problems in the vent .... clogs it or something
Re: this may the best substrate for your snake
I use Kraft paper for the adlts/subadults and newspaper for the babies.
