+1 on newspaper

I've used cypress, aspen and newspaper. Of the three I think I prefer the cypress the most. From my experience cypress held the best moisture.

Although I like the paper based substrate, I love the ease of spot cleaning with the loose wood based stuff. Just scoop out the soiled section and replace as needed. I like to do a complete change every month or so.

Recently switched to sani chips and absolutely love them! They can be a bit messy but i vaccuum my room like twice a week anyways so it doesnt bother me

At home, I use orchid bark and/ or cypress mulch. For me, humidity is a huge issue, as I live in a super dry area and have to monitor it constantly.

In the stores we use either orchid bark or sani chips, depending on where the snakes are. If they're in tubs, the humidity in there can usually be kept high enough that using sanichips is fine. They're super easy to clean, which makes them ideal for maintenance in racks. The cages often have screen lids, or a basking light of some kind, so we use orchid bark in those situations, often in combination with moss and humid hiding spots.

My vote is on the Newspaper as well, although Aspen is the next on the list. Never likes cypress to be honest.

I use butcher paper or white paper from a printing company. My older brother works for a printing company so I am lucky enough to get it for free. I get the ends of the rolls or the bent up parts that are considered waste. Try contacting a local printing company to see if they will make you a deal.

That's what I use, it's free and works decent. Hard to beat that IMO.
