What should I look for/ask about if I am getting it from somewhere other than a pet store? I've never had to worry about this before lol. I always just used pine when I bred guinea pigs and never had a problem, but I guess with snakes it's different now.

I loved the easiness of just paper and paper towels but I feel like I should use bedding to help the humidity until I can get them in their own room w/ a humidifier. (Which would have been today but now my BF's friend might need to move in with us for a bit.... not thrilled....)
