Cleaning:

I started out with carpet but read what a pain it was to clean, so went to aspen, but that started to get expensive. Now I'm using blank newsprint (picked up for 200+ sheets at uhaul for $11.

I also started with a tank but humidity was hard to keep constant, now I've got them all in a rack system. If I need to raise humidity for shedding time, I tape up some holes or put more water in the bowl.

Enjoy and this is a great place for information, I've learned a lot from the experienced people here.
The humidity in the tank is going to be a little extra work, another reason we'll probably just stay with the one snake.
My daughter is kinda scared of using the Aspen. A friend of hers from school lost his Corn snake from ingesting a piece of wood.
We were just going to change the carpet weekly ?
