I know that the bloods love to burry, but they never seem to burry in the warm side and Im afraid they will get sick and Die like my last Blood. At least my ball pythons move around from warm to cool, but not the blood I had. So now with the new bloods, I think I wanna try newspaper. As Far as privacy... the snakes are in the Incubator room. Its not cold and its not hot or warm. Nobody but I go in that room 3 times a day to feed the baby parrots. So, Lets see.

Newspaper. I've been thinking about switching to cypress or soil. Had my first shed. Not a complete shed, but no issues with shed not coming off.

I started with paper but have been using a cypress blend for close to 5 months now and love it

We've used a variety of substrates over the years, and kraft paper always seems to be incorporated somehow. We've been experimenting with coarse-grade aspen chips for the past 6 months, with very, very good results. Paper is laid over the aspen so our snakes can lay beneath it, and we have happy bloods & short-tails that eat, shed & breed like clockwork. They're all housed in Animal Plastics racks, in climate-controlled rooms.
HTH!

How hot is your hot side? Bloods don't like to be too warm & thrive at ambient temps of 80-82 w/o a hotspot at all. If your bloods are already in your incubator room, that may be warm enough for them as it is, without additional heating. How warm is the incubator room?
Also, what kind of parrots?
