I just love the natural look of newspaper 
I use it, I voted for it...but jeez it'd be nice if there was something else out there that looked better, was as easy to use and cheap Why spend additional money buying something that I have thrown on the lawn every morning? hehe

im using shredded pine bark that can be bought from any garden centre for my snakes. before i use it i cook it in the oven at 200 deg for about 10 minutes to kill any possible nasties. cost is $5 for a 30lt bag. a bag of repi bark the same size is around $50

I use the comfey pet because it is bio-degradable and is great for the garden, if i havn't got any whefre to put it at the time i simply flush it as it is designed to be done.

I use marine carpet. I soak/wash it as required with laundry liquid/bleach to get rid of the nasties, then give it a very good rinse. Looks good and easy to maintain and clean.  |
