Humidity is good. Sometimes a bit too good, as when there are not enough holes in some tubs, it tends to absorb the water. You just have to be vigilant. But for the most part, it is a LIFE SAVER in terms of cleaning. Scoops instead of complete replacement. Complete replacement every couple of months or if there is a severe dirty situation.

I do all the work myself for the most part, and I only clean about 2 hours a day for around 250 snakes.

Paper towel. But will switch to coconut fiber soon

I use Carefresh for the snakes that love to burrow (my hognose, baby corn and one adult corn), since I'm allergic to anything wood-based... so the highly recommended Aspen is not an option. So far I've never had a problem with the Carefresh, since I spot-clean immediately when I see any waste/urine. As long as you keep it clean and dry, I doubt you'll see many respiratory issues with it.

Oh, but I voted "newspaper/paper towels" on the poll, since my other 14-15 snakes get that in their tubs. Definitely my favorite, in terms of cleanliness and ease of cleaning. :gj:

I use newspaper in my rack. I would reccomend stayn away from cocanut since it can get in his scales and cause issues.

Super easy to clean, and best part is its FREE (for me)

Front half aspen, back half or heated part of tub paper......

I use around 2 inches deep or a bit less.

I buy mine from a local farm store that can special order them for me.

For one bag, it can work for around 5 tubs of 41qts, and 10 of the 32, and more if you use it for around an inch of coverage.

One of the good things you can do with aspen, regulate the temps in your tubs. Less aspen = more heat, more aspen = less heat. I don't recommend replacing this method with a good thermostat, but it can work to your advantage.
