I have never heard of that news paper thing being done before, but as it appears you are a breeder I will attempt that.

The newspaper trick is a Kevin McCurley (NERD) trick that many of us share with new keepers. We share it because it works.

You slowly wean your snake off the paper by removing a piece or two every few days.
