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.
Newspaper is cheaper imo cleaner cause as soon as they do their business spray some disinfectant, wipe down put another sheet and ur ready to go.
I don't know why so many people recommend buying unprinted paper from home depot or lowe's Most local news paper distributors will give away unprinted end rolls for free, they have no use for them. You just have to ask
