    You can usually get partially used rolls from your local newspaper for free or very cheap.

    Uline has rolls as well and a paper cutter for the rolls that works great.

    I just cut the roll to width with a band saw and tear off a couple pieces for each tub.

    After switching to the rolls of paper I won't go back to folding or cutting old newspapers :)

    I usually get a stack of old papers from the local newspaper. They fit my enclosure perfectly.

    I subscribe to a local free paper. it's run by a guy who is kind of a jerk, so anything I can do to help waste his money is good by me! And my snakes get to express my sentiments....
    "This newspaper is very good- FOR ME TO POOP ON!" :D

    My roommate also gets a few intellectual papers so the snakes can get some good reading in as well!

    I ask my freinds to save papers for me. Works well. I take it all, and recycle the parts I can't use(slick advertising, or stapled portions) and use the full sheets. I just lay out a huge pile(that's BORING to do) and then have a nice ready stack when I change bins.
    Good idea to check the recycle bins though!

    Only if you don't use the front pages off the sections of the USA today. Those things are color and show up nice on an Albino! :O

    We have a local paper that's free. Everytime I go to the store I grab 3 or 4 copies and i'm all set. Free rocks!

    if you dont have a local newspaper then for you morning people you can go into your local gas station and get yesterdays newspaper for free. i used to work at a gas station and what we would do is cut the top off of the first page and throw the rest away. my two snakes were in heaven when i worked there. but i think they like my new job better!
