Don't really like newspaper... my wife said the tank needs to be presentable! In the past, I have used astroturf and just pulled out the piece when it got soiled and put a new one in. Then cleaned the old piece and kept it in reserve for the next mess. I went with the reptibark this time (just now getting back into my snake hobby) because I think it looks nice in the glass tank. I am thinking of either going to turf or putting less reptibark in next time I change it. Does anyone use this stuff? And if so, how deep do you lay it on. I believe this may be contributing to some of the issues I have heating with my UTH alone.
