Non of my snakes are on newspaper or paper towels. I keep the Colubrids (Kings and Corn) on Aspen Bedding, my Dumeril's on Aspen and Bark, and my BPs on Cypress Mulch. All I do is take some toilet paper, pick up the feces, and flush it down the toilet. Sometimes I'll forget to put it in the toilet so I'll throw it away.
