    Do They Have This Stuff At Reptile Expos?

    Im wondering if reptile expos have the following
    1. Water Bowls ( like the ones at reptiletubs.com )
    2. Hide Boxes ( like the ones at reptilebasics.com )
    3. Unprinted Newspaper

    thanks for reading this post.

    I'm very sure they have the first two items you listed. I'm not sure if they sell any unprinted newspaper at expos, though. If you don't find any at the expo you may be going to, I suggest to use newspaper or just paper towels. I may just switch my snakes to paper towels sometime in the future, but for now I'm just going to use Aspen.

    If you want unprinted newspaper you can go to a local hardware shop like Lowe's, Home Depot Etc and they should have huge rolls for like 15 bucks,

    To me, it isn't a pain to clean at all. I really don't mind the extra work I have to do when cleaning up Aspen. The gross thing about paper towels and newspaper is when your snake urinates or defecates most of it get wets and smells awful. The thing I don't like about it is that I like keeping my snakes clean and free from smelling like crap and having the Salmonella bacteria on them (even though they probably have it on them anyway) but using paper towels or newspaper will probably soak the snake in it's own feces or urine.

    Plus I don't think it controls humidity well, which I have a huge problem with since it's so dry here.

    Then why would you want to change to newpaper/paper towels?

    I am a proud user of aspen and I love it. It looks natural, holds humidity better than paper towels/newspaper, Is probably more comfortable, and soaks urine so the snakes do not soak themselves in it.

    I'm pretty sure you just cut off whatever you need instead of ripping sheet by sheet off.

    Newspaper or paper towels would make cleaning time go faster, but it really doesn't matter to me how much time it takes. I just found it easier to just change it out and put a few new sheets in, but Aspen has been working quite well for me and I really love to use it. Always have used Aspen for my snakes and probably always will unless my collection gets huge then I probably wouldn't have time for changing the Aspen in all the enclosures.
