I use about 6-10 layers per cage. I figured more doesn't hurt. It gives them extra layers to burrow through and maybe it provides a little cushioning. For the 4x2 ones that is almost an entire day's paper per cage. (I pull out most of the color pages tho... I'm just picky like that.) I also fold some so they go up about 4-6" on the sides and back, it does help with cleaning (most of the time).
I have coworkers that 'donate' their newspapers for the snakes every week after they've read them.
