    Re: Substrate??

    What are you using now??


    Newspaper is probably the cheapest and easiest thing on the planet to use. And there are similar things as well...such as unprinted newspaper...papertowels...craftpaper.

    And then more naturalistic substrates such as aspen, reptibark, coconut husks.... Lots to choose from. Just don't use cedar or pine.

    I use aspen. It's awesome, but I like Eco-Earth And I think I might try it out.
