i read on the substrate sticky thread that shredded paper can be used as a substrate.. iv just shredded a tonne of paper in my shredder and want to use it but am a bit concerned that mont could get cut or the ink will affect him..
am i worrying over nothing?  |

Darren your snakes must be 'ard; in mine's warm end I use chippings and in the cool end I use Aspen. it's about 4-1 inches tall and it loves to burrow in that! I level it off, he burrows and makes loads of funky tunnels. Yet since I made the chips so thin leveled off, he can't really burrow in them
Paper, hardly the eco-friendliest but cheap, and easy to clean!
20p Sun would go a while in a snakes tank though...  |

you may find mont gets into burrowing with the papers |

I used shredded paper for a long time (until I aquired a sack of aspen)
It was easy to maintain and rizla loved to tunnel through it. |

The breeder I got Bam from used sheets of newspaper, (not shedded) and I did for a few weeks. Alot of people use it with no problems, so I dont think there wold be one. Just make sure the water bowl is not over filled so it gets the paper wet! |
