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

    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.
