Whats your # 1 ....

...Substrate for your boas?

and if you buy online where do you buy from?

Newspaper or paper towels. ;)

I use cypress mulch for all my snakes. I feel no other substrate allows you to adjust the humidity to your particular preference.

I use packing paper. $8 bux for 300 sheets or somethin like that.

I've got my kids on shaved aspen, which I buy from a feed store or Pets Mart.

I did use kraft paper, but I am now using shredded aspen. The snakes seem to like it better than the paper. However, I think Paper is better for those who use belly heat.

I second that!

My girl loves to burrow underneath it. She also pushes it up all around her hide and makes a cave. She feels secure with it.

My samller boa is on repti-bark, but will soon be switched to aspen...and my big girl is on aspen with tile underneath...and my ball python is also on aspen.
