    You can use aspen bedding. How much is really up to you. I use about an inch.

    Use the paper just don't shred it. Lay it out and line the bottom with it.

    You can get unprinted newspaper from any UHaul store - they sell it in 10 lb.. boxes for $9.00 a box. With just the one snake, that box will last you forever.

    Re: blank newspaper

    Well how would newspaper keep them warm? They don't generate body heat, so there's nothing to insulate their heat...I mean, if it's 68* in the cage, the newspaper will be 68* and so will the snake.

    Most times BPs curl up in bedding is either to get closer to heat or to feel secure.

    Or just plain random

    I lay it down in the enclosure then I take a few sheets of it and crumple it up and put it in there so they can hide under neath it

    Re: blank newspaper

    Here's the link for the stuff from UHaul that they are talking about...

    http://store.uhaul.com/Protective_st...Wrapping_Paper

    If it's more convenient for you, Home Depot (and I'm sure Lowe's) has a similar product - 10 lb packing paper - 165 sheets for about eight or nine dollars.
