    How much newspaper do you use for substrate?

    About how many layers do you place in the tank of newspaper because I put many layers and I believe that may be the reason that I am not getting enough heat from my UTH....

    Re: How much newspaper do you use for substrate?

    im using natural pulp as substrate.. i keep it very thin so that there is less of a fluxuation in heat. but at the same time i dont want the snake to touch bare glass. would it be advisable to put newspaper as a bottom layer and alittle pulp ontop?
    that make any sense or would it not matter

    would kinda be useless, just stick with one substrate and newspaper is by far the best....it may not look very nice but it has an extremely easy clean-up
