    I've never used eco earth, don't know. I'd reccomend newspaper. So easy to clean = no smell!

    Use the newspaper, it's easy to clean up.

    newspaper, just replace weekly. no weird stuff growing in your substrate. it doesn't look as pleasing to the eye but it is sanitary for your snake. they make craft paper or idented paper ( i think) that is different colors ( sold at craft stores). i like the free newspaper myself!

    thanks

    If your bp has had a couple of bowel movements and you have only done spot cleaning, its probably time for a complete cleaning. I'm with everyone else on the newspaper as well. Its great!
