    Re: Which bedding do you prefer?

    I use unprinted newspaper - aka - packing paper. No ink on the snakes, and when the snakes soil their bedding, they get completely changed - no spot cleaning here for me. I like knowing it's clean.

    Well is Aspen okay for breeding, because I heard that it causes hemipenes absesses. Will cypress not do that?

    Alright dumb question...those of you that use paper towels, do you just put them in and spray them or leave them dry? Seems they would hold a ton of moisture, how do you check the humidity? How thick of a layer? I'm certain I'm over thinking this but please humor me
