    Ive heard the newspaper has small amounts of antibacterial properties to it, Ill be using it when my rack comes in, In show tanks I use aspen for looks. Where can I get unprinted newspaper?

    Not so ... and even if it did, it would not benefit a snake living on it in any way at all.

    Hope this helps.

    Antibacterial paper is only used for Hospital medical records and pharmacy envelopes, etc.... Not newsprint ;)
