    Question Natural looking substrate with that newpaper easy of cleanup?

    Looking for a way to keep using aspen snake bedding for that natural look with a newspaper ease of clean. I was thinking maybe litter box liners that you use for cat litter boxes. Anyone have any suggestions?

    It doesn't look natural, but it looks much better than newspaper

    Corrugated wrap cheap and is easy to clean up.

    Try lining your tubs or enclosure with newspaper and throw sani-chips on top. Just stay regular on your spot cleaning!!

    This is my setup I have it folded on the sides to keep from having to get his messes out of the corners so far.

    The corrugated cardboard idea sounds pretty awesome and looks nice too. Personally I use cypress mixed with large chunks of coco-husk in my tanks. Its easy to spot clean, keeps humidity great & I change it out fully and disinfect every 2-3 months. The wooden substrate looks great; however, it just will never compare to the ease of newspaper substrates that I use in my tubs.
