    Where do I get unprinted news paper?
    I want to switch to unprinted news paper from aspen, as recently I noticed mold in these more humid summer months. But I don't know where to find it, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    You can also get a box at Home Depot, that way you dont have to buy so much just in case you dont like it.

    You may be able to get some for free if you go to a local newspaper and ask if they'll give any away.

    That's funny. I went from unprinted newspaper TOO aspen because the newspaper wasn't holding the humidity well. I got my newspaper at http://www.uline.com/BL_1954/Newspri...keywords=paper

    agreed, ask them if they have any "unprinted end rolls"

    That is correct. I have used left over rolls for years to protect new construction. Every day newspapers have 4'-0 long rolls of paper that were not used for the news. This is because they cannot run the roll all the way to the end. These left overs are either thrown out or given away to people who ask. Many cheerleader squads have known about this source for years. So have contractors. The only draw back is the paper width of 4'-0. you will have to cut it down to size.

    The sheets are 24" x 36" and I fold them in half and then another 4" (give or take) fold on the edge to fit in my tubs.

    Why not just get newspaper with print?

    I mean if it's cheaper to get it without sure. I usually just use the leftovers from when my parents buy it.

    I believe that printed news paper can temporarily stain your BP. I haven't experienced this but I've read about it several times. It's not harmful as far as I know but some people would rather not have stains on their BPs :P

    Ya. most places give out the end rolls for free, so if you are getting printed paper for free I guess it just comes down to preference or convenience.

    I don't like black bellies when they "snake paint" when they turn over their water bowls or urinate.

    I still use printed newspaper in a pinch.

    OH I see.

    How well does newspaper hold humidity? I have used both aspen and paper, but never paid attention to which was better. I just don't like newspaper because it gets pretty nasty after you mist the tank or rub.
