Re: What type of substrate do you use?
Actually it depends on what its in. The tubs get newsprint 'cause you don't see it and it doesn't matter. The aquariums get mulches. Isay plural, cause there are a couple of different kinds I am using right now. One of the has the soil-in-a-brick stuff. I really like it, but its a pain to deal with.

Re: What type of substrate do you use?
Ohh yeah i hear ya ! i hate that Dirt Brick stuff, i used it when i got my first snake......that substrate didnt last long over here, its a pain so i tossed it. I have ZERO paitence, that why i love newspaper and reptile carpet although lately ive been expeirementing with aspen shavings, i really like the way aspen looks and the snakes seem to enjoy burying themselves in it.
So i use newspaper, reptile carpet and aspen.

Re: What type of substrate do you use?
Wow that Uline site has some good deals. And the shipping isnt too bad either! For an AP T3 cage should i get 18" or 24"? Im thinking 18" cause id have to trim the 24" and I can just overlap 2 pieces of 18". Also, what weight should i use if im going to overlap 2 pieces? thanks for the suggestions everyone, great thread!
