I use paper towels on top of newspaper right now but I had been using reptibark. Due to the cost, I decided to waive the better look. Not only is the paper towel and neswpaper cheaper, it is so much easier to clean.

On the feeding problem....My BP has no problem with eating live, which he has been doing for 3 years, but refusing to eat f/t. I tried for quite some time but he just flat out fefused to eat it. I havent tried f/k mainly because I cant bring myself to kill his food via my own hands. I was brought up that you only killed an animal if either you were going to eat it, to end it's suffering due to illness or injury or killing it to protect your life. I am though, considering trying f/k, but have not gotten myself to do it because I have yet to see anything close to my BP being injured (not saying that it cant happen) by his food. I supervise each and every meal that he has and am prepared to intervene if necessary.
