Unprinted Newspaper the easy way

Usually newspapers will give you the end rolls for free or cheap.

Its actually not the same.

If you look closely at it the unprinted stuff is a bit more "shiny" is the best way I can put it.

Its "pores" arent as open as newspaper is and to me wasnt as absorbent.

Yes, I absolutely LOVE newspaper. But am fed up trying to keep humidity up with it and have switched to Aspen

I'm kind of confused . You are a newspaper guy but you use aspen. This is exactly the same as printed paper without the ink yet you say its not as absorbent?

I just bought some of the unprinted newsapaper for my snake's tub and I love it! Apparently he likes it too because he is hiding under it.

Yep that is where we got ours. My mom actually picked up what I consider a huge roll a couple of years ago for the kids to draw on. When we started keeping balls we just started using it. The roll is still huge! But when it runs out I will be headed right back to the local newspaper.

Also just a tip for cutting it easily. I cut what I need by using the Fiskars paper trimmer refill blade and just running it down the side of the roll, using a sewing measuring tape I measure from that cut and then make another cut down the side of the roll. It cuts a whole stack of paper quickly. Then I just keep them in an empty bin. You will also end up with a small size stack of paper than I cut down for my 15 qt tubs. Easy and free.

Yep, the local newspaper always has the ends of their newspaper rolls. They also have a couple different sizes, so I have rolls for my big tubs and size for my juvi/hatchling tubs. I only pay like 5 bucks for a few rolls, and that is just to give the guy something for pulling them off to the side for me. . . this is the only way to go.
