    Actually, I use acid free poster board that I have cut to fit my tubs, but that's too hard to explain every time the substrate question comes up, so I just say paper

    Afterall its not like you are forbidden to switch methods.
    Unless you have rat scent on your hand and go sticking your hand into your enclosure (I've done it before) you probably won't get bitten due to a feeding response.
    People often find themselves bitten when trying to move the snake back to the enclosure after eating, because the snake is still in feeding mode.
