Poll: What Substrate Do You Prefer?

Newspaper! I've managed to get my family members to keep theirs, so I have a steady supply. I like that its so easy to change out. I prefer aspen, visually, but I just find it too much of a hassle deal with on a daily basis. All my snakes are in a rack and I've never had an issue with humidity. :)

I use newspaper for my entire collection.

Cypress mulch!

I use cyress mulch

I use aspen... I like Nepco lab bedding the best but Petco brand is not too bad. I put in extra for the ones that like to burrow. Looks nice, smells nice, and soaks up messes until I find them and clean them up. It's pretty inexpensive if you buy in bulk. I live in a very high humidity area so I don't have to worry about how dry the substrate is.

I prefer paper. Being around the military I actually have the guys that are moving get me a stack of the packing paper that the movers use when packing their household items and it works great.

Cypress Mulch. It holds in moisture, doesn't mold, and looks good.

Paper towels. I use a rack system. Its the easiest to clean completely, leaving no smell at all in the cage, until they go again :P

Retired Jedi, my old drill sergeant in AIT had Jedi as his religion on his dog tags, I guess a few of them did. Just thought I'd mention.

The question should have been "what do the snakes prefer?" I know my ghost girl will burrow in the bedding but she's the only one that's done that so far. Right before I got on the computer I was just thinking about what type of bedding I'll be using in the future. THE "180 dollar" thread had me thinking about cost and I realized I'm spending a lot on aspen bedding when I could get newspaper for free from my cafe. I already use "to go" boxes as hides and "to go" soup bowls as water dishes lol. I'm uncertain of which would make the snakes happier but I would imagine they would prefer something other then paper towel or newspaper and perhaps even throw a log in there for them to climb over? I'm going to search the husbandry threads and if one hasn't been posted I might have to take some various set up pics...
