I use zoo med repti cage carpet! Its wonderful stuff, no risk of your beloved corn from swallowing any loose substrate, easy to clean, looks good, non-toxic etc etc....

If you decide to use beech chips make sure you give them plenty of time to dry out before putting using them.

I use aspen on top of paper. With aspen it tends to lump around the poo so you can pick up and remove easily
