newspaper substrate

I have used it before but I like papertowls better! I would change when anyone deficated or they got too wet from spraying or something like that.

i use unprinted newspaper. i called my local newspaper inquiring, and they told me they have "butt rolls" which are the end of the newsprint rolls that they don't use. took four home for free, tons of blank newsprint.

I don't understand why you let the snake go for 4 days without fresh water? Maybe I'm not reading it correctly....

I refuse to use anything but newspaper now, U noe exactly wen it gets dirty, and its easy, cheap and quick.

I used aspen for a long time and now after seeing how much he pees, i get grossed out thinking about using aspen cause its hard to see the pee to clean it out.
