Where I work (grocery store) we have these huge rolls of this giant soaker pad stuff. It gets put under our meat counter to soak up blood, and under the milk so soak up any spills. My boss allowed me to take some home to try it out, but I haven't yet. It's basically 3 layers, a paper layer on top, a thin toilet paper-like absorbant material in the middle, and thin plastic on the bottom. There are no inks or dyes in it, pure white. It's used in the food industry so I can't imagine it could be harmful at all. I'm just wondering if you guys think this is safe to use as a substrate for my bps?
The reason I want to try this, is because at the moment I'm using unprinted newspaper. Everytime a snake defecates, usually the whole paper is soaked, and the snake is left sitting in a wet enclosure. Same thing goes if the snake tips its water bowl. I don't like to let this happen. So I'd like to use this soaker pad to prevent this. Good idea? bad?
