Woops... LOL
I know this question has probably been asked a hundred times before, but is it all right to put shredded newspaper as a substrate, or will the edges of the paper be to sharp?
Thanks,
Chris
 
It would be fine. Heck, you don't even have to shred it. The snake would probably enjoy aspen shavings more, as it clumps, and they can create tunnels throught it. Aspen is also easier to spot clean.
 
That was impressive, Dean. 4 min.
I thought that maybe snakes could burrow through the shredded paper and it would be nicer for the snake than just plain flat nespaper...
Thanks anyway,
Chris

As far as I'm concerned, you thought right. :) I would use shredded newsprint before flat. Your snakes would be fine. Aspen just has better properties for burrowing...
 
Thanks, I will do that then, as I think it would look better as well.
Have a nice night,
Chris
