Re: What kind of bedding You use in your Rack???
I use newspaper. cheap, easy to tell if the tub needs clean. I don't have a humidity problem being my racks are in a snake room that the temp and humidity is control. this could be a factor for you on what to use.

Re: What kind of bedding You use in your Rack???
We use paper towels for fresh babies and in the quarantine tubs, but in the others we use shredded aspen! I hate the look of paper in the tubs or other enclosures,...
also, if the snakes spill the water, the whole "bedding" is wet, if they make a mess on the wet bedding, its awful.
with aspen, i take out the small piece with the mess, and i'm done. also the snakes cannot wrap the aspen up when crawling around.

All of my snakes get either Aspen, Newspaper, or paper towels.
Just depends on the snake, and where they are at.
My anaconda, and larger retic gets newspaper.
The BPs MOSTLY get aspen, but sometimes newspaper.
the hatchling rack gets papertowels.

I use aspen for my snakes and kiln dried pine for my rats. The tractor supply right down the street from me has everything i need. The rats get about 3 inches of substrate and the snakes get 2. I try to pack it down tight so everything stays on top.

Re: What kind of bedding You use in your Rack???
I use aspen.
I dont normally spot clean unless I have JUST changed and they poo. heh
I tried paper but found the mess spread easier (A wet dropping would run and make a mess) and for that aspen would absorb this and keep it in one place, plus any water spills would be contained.
With paper If they knocked a dish. the poor snake sat in a 1/4 inch of water untill I saw it.
But to each there own I find it absorbed the smell a bit better too.
