| The poop will not be teeny and you will defo know its in there the smell is atomic! I would go for aspen. I have found too much cover in the foliage since freaks them out a little. Deep aspen 1-2 hides and a water bowl should do it x |

Definitely not just kitchen roll - I use kitchen roll to line the base, with a thick layer (2 inches +) of lignocel over the top. Hogster sometimes uses his cold hide, but other times just buries under the substrate. You HAVE to have deep substrate - if only for the pleasure of watching him burrow about all day for a week solid when you first get him lol!
(I haven't noticed the poop smell as being that bad actually! ) |

Yep you want nice deep substrate, I did have Petal on kitchen roll the first couple of weeks just so I could see if her poo looked normal easier but it was great to get her o a proper substrate she could make a mess with.
As for the smell of the poo, I'm with Georgina. Petal is by far the stinkiest snake of my collection haha. |
