Re: blank newspaper
Hi,
I've heard the same about ink in newspaper... don't know if it's true.
If you're looking for a nice, blank paper substrate, I *highly* recommend Indented Kraft Paper. You only need one layer (unless you have something bigger than 6ft) and it actually looks quite nice.
The blank news paper you can probably get from your local newspaper...
Hope that helped.

Re: blank newspaper
I use newspaper and the ive never had a problem with ink hurting my snakes but the ink does stain my white cages and my rubbermaids in my rack systems and it can be a pain to get cleaned sometimes. But im calling my local paper this monday and asking if I can somehow purchase unprinted newspaper

Re: blank newspaper
I wouldn't expect it to be terribly expensive.
The ink in newspapers is not toxic, it is soy based. Soy in large quantities is toxic but the amount on a newspaper is no where near large enough to affect your snake. It might stain the snake or enclosure if it gets wet though.

You can just call and ask if they have "end-rolls", they are usually free

shredding newspaper will create a lot of dust,i once tried it on rodents and the dust gave them URI's.
