I'm cheap, so I used paper towels but changed to newspaper and now might go back to p. towels because bellies started to turn reddish. I have a friend who can get aspen for not too expensive so I might change to that, but I'll see when I get my rack fully installed. For now it is simply easier with the papers.

Aspen for my Corn snake, cause she loves to burrow, and cypress mulch for my BP, cause it holds humidity better than aspen.

been using repti chip for about 2 months now and much easier to keep my bps humidity up, much easier to find poop and pee and a bag at 15 bucks keeps my 5 snakes good (did 2x refills on 5 28's and a exotera large terrarium and a 20 gal tank) just now opening second bag for my second 41q to get filled up (first bag got the first of the 41's) stays clean pee shows up easily and poop sticks to it less but keeps it off the tubs nicely.

if your in Texas and go to shows contact J. T. from On The Ball Pythons he has the product and goes to many of the Texas shows and sells it nice guy and answered a lot of questions about ball pythons for me before i got into them.

I bought cypress mulch at a show, real wet and heavy, started to smell real bad in the bags even before I used it all up, now I'm using aspen and love it, smells great and I spray it with water heavily with a 2 gallon pump sprayer from Home Depot. Some of my balls like to burrow in it. I probably spray twice or three times a week. Kiln dried so no nasty stuff to worry about.

Cypress Mulch simply because I have heard of certain coconut brands molding.

I just started to use shipping paper from uline. Amazing product. Very cheap and very easy to keep your racks clean

We use paper towels. They're cheap and clean up is a breeze. I can usually clean all five tubs in about ten minutes.

I will start with paper towel, cheap and easy to clean.

I use reptichip as well. It works great. My balls love it and shedding time is a breeze...just mist down couple times a day til they shed. Never had a bad shed with this stuff. Spot cleans easily and does not mold.
