    Papertowels in my tubs. Ive used Petco Aspen as well. Both seem to work good. I like the papertowels for easy cleanup.

    alot of people like to use newspaper or paper towels cuz its quick and easy and very cheap especially when you have alot of snakes. but i use aspen and i like it alot. it looks good and it absorbs the smell of the snake poop but if it gets wet it will grow mold eventually so you have to kinda keep an eye on it but its pretty cheap too

    Recently switched to Cypress Mulch, all my snakes will be kept on Cypress mulch except for hatchlings and adults being paired.

    I use Eco-earth expandable substrate as it is easy to clean and holds smell very well. It is also very resistant to mold and holds humidity extremely well.

    I use indented kraft. Tried the other stuff, but got tired of fishing it out of mouths and butts.
