    I can't imagine anything being easier to clean than the corrugated wrap.

    Me stayed constant. The PVC cages I use hold humidity very well regardless. I've used aspen, paper towels, butchers paper, and finally I'm currently using the corrugated wrap. My cages have stayed at 60%

    I use the paper from cage liners.net. I have 200 sheets on the way to me now that I had custom cut for these tubs, and I still have a roll left over from when I used the Boaphile 421D.

    Re: Best Substrate

    Newspaper is the best substrate for the snakes...Who cares what it looks like to you if it's best for your snake!!!

    I used corrugated wrap for my Retics years ago... Anybody who works with cardboard a lot knows how bad it dries your hands out...Does the same to the snakes...I would never go back to that again!!!

    I really like and use Disposable Cage Liner...I still use a few sheets of newspaper with it though...

    Right now my cresties and ball are on coconut husk, but I plan on switching to cypress or some other mixture. I was previously using aspen for my ball, but it gets really dusty when I clean. Since I don't have a large collection by any means, newspaper isn't really any more practical than wood products. In the end it really just comes down to personal preference.
