[aj099]

ok guy`s here come`s another question!
i am in love with this forum everybody is so helpful!

ok so im not sure about where you guy`s live but i live in montreal
and at my pet stores a bag big enough to do my terrarium cost 40$
seeing as i have to huge terrarium`s this is just not practical for me
not that i dont mind spending the money on my snake`s
i have invested a hell of alot of money and time :freakedout:

so here is my question what else can i use beside carpet newspaper and that other ****.is there anything cheaper and safe? if not ill spend the money on the reptibark but is there some kind of mulch i can use?
right now i am using the last bits of a big bag i got from the guy i bought my boa from .thanks in advance guy`s!:hmm:

I get aspen for $3 per 8q bag at Walmart. I forget what it called though.

the shaved aspen is good for a dryer tank and the splintered up cypress is great for wetter tanks but obviously you have to add water to it.

some of our canadian members will be able to tell you where to get the deals.

I buy a 28kg bag for £15 its big enough to do 9 vivs with enough left over for spot cleaning replacements for a few months as well.
