    You can use aspen bedding. How much is really up to you. I use about an inch.

    Use the paper just don't shred it. Lay it out and line the bottom with it.

    You can get unprinted newspaper from any UHaul store - they sell it in 10 lb.. boxes for $9.00 a box. With just the one snake, that box will last you forever.

    Well how would newspaper keep them warm? They don't generate body heat, so there's nothing to insulate their heat...I mean, if it's 68* in the cage, the newspaper will be 68* and so will the snake.

    Most times BPs curl up in bedding is either to get closer to heat or to feel secure.

    Or just plain random :)

    Here's the link for the stuff from UHaul that they are talking about...

    If it's more convenient for you, Home Depot (and I'm sure Lowe's) has a similar product - 10 lb packing paper - 165 sheets for about eight or nine dollars.
