Kaorte, hey I am unsure about shop towels the ones I have here at my desk are quite think and heavy. Heavy enough I can't see it sticking to a rat (wet or gory) and being lifted at the same time. I am unsure. Mike has a good idea a friend by me gets roll ends free. If you have a paper converter locally they often have a variety of inexpensive papers on a roll. I use brown paper from one it is a 300 foot roll 24 inches wide for 20$ or so. That is a lot of paper.Originally Posted by Kaorte
Kitedemon, hey its me again! I believe that blue shop towels would actually be worse than regular paper towels because they are more absorbent. If they were accidentally ingested the animal would surely die. I remember Aaron of iherp having that problem with some similar towels.
Do you know of any cases where a snake has swallowed something like Kraft paper or newspaper? I'm just wondering if it has ever even happened. I am seriously going to switch substrates but for now paper towels are the most convenient option for me. I don't get newspapers here so no free substrate.
And I just can't stand loose substrate.

no I have not heard of new paper being eaten. It just doesn't 'stick' to objects that are wet. It also is stiff enough to not start to bunch up so it could be swallowed. I corner maybe but that isn't an issue. A sheet is more so. I recognize it is long odds but we both know it has happened.
