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.

Same Here.;)

Aspen! Word up! :)

When they get their new cages I'll use aspen. Now I'm using kraft paper.

News paper and/or paper towels.

I use aspen because it absorbs moisture if there are any spills, it allows them to burrow and feel secure, and it makes enclosures look nice and clean... I also use paper towels because they are easy to clean (roll them up and throw them out), and they can get humidity up well even if they are just misted lightly. :)

I use newspaper for all my snakes right now because I get tons of it for free from work. Once I have money burning a hole in my pocket, I might switch everyone over to Aspen full time. But for now, my snakes are content with newspaper.

Me three

I ended up getting a giant roll of plain brown paper for free so im using that now. But before that was newspaper.:snake:

Newspaper ! Exept for the albino's cages....i dont use it for them. The ink rubs off on thier skin sometimes, not very attractive ;)
