    That's a good idea - I purchase packing and shipping materials for work all the time from Uline. Never thought to use the indented kraft paper. I assume there's nothing in it that would irritate the snakes??? I'll have to look into that. Probably more pleasing on the eyes compared to paper towels or newsprint.

    I would be worried to put newspaper because of the ink and blackness that comes off of the newspapers. I think the Aspen sounds best right now. I use repti-bark and I will now change to Aspen.

    from my experience the ink from the newspaper does nothing. unless someone can prove me wrong.
