    Re: What kind of bedding You use in your Rack???

    I use cypress mulch. It's pretty plentiful in the south and everyone says when it comes to humidity it's the best.


    I am considering paper towels though. I'm barely using a quarter to half an inch and my temperatures are erratic even on the side controlled by a thermostat.

Probably the easiest to clean and most comfortable bedding. Cheap also.

    EDIT - in my ball pythons tank I use cocnut fibre for a more natural look, but for racks go for carefresh.
    i dont know one person ( other than you apperantly lol ) that uses carefresh for snakes. for balls most people go with aspen or newspaper, some people use sani chips, but i think those are aspen too?

    i use newspaper in the racks, easy to change, fits pretty well the way i get it, and its free. plus they can still hide under it if they want
