from everything if read do not use pine my suggestion was like chuckles said newspaper its very cheap easy to clean and ive noticed my bps love to hide under instead of their hides lol in the wild they live underground and in termite mounds so i guess its like they are borrowing

Right I have been told by many people to use newspaper,and it is also cheap. If I had a heat pad under the plastic inclosure and my snake 'borrowed' under it,would the heat pad burn him?
