best substrate

IMO, the best substrate is cypress mulch. It holds water well, and doesn't mold. It is great for incresing humidity in a snakes enclosure. Even though this is the best substrate, I use unprinted newpaper (newsprint.) It is quick and easy...

When I used to use aspen, I used to spot clean every few days, then do a complete substrate change once each month. I used this substrate in racks and a 4x2 cage.

Nothing beats newspaper.

like ive said coconut fiber works great. if it gets to dry just pour some water on it and it absorbs the water and there you go back to good levels of humidity:banana:

I'm liking the clean look of aspen right now. I'm not saying its the best substrate, its just what I use. I'm not sure if there is a best substrate out there I think its more personal preference.
