Substrate is very important to me. I'm using douglas fir bark and i don't care for it. Too hard to spot clean.

What else is good for Womas? Besides newspaper...

I got an idea from the Uromastyx people to use bird seed... similar to sand yet safe to ingest and easy to spot clean. is that insane or does that idea have some merit?

Also, i have to admit i like the aesthetics of the zoo med repti-sand products... anyone have anything positive or negative to say about those? I know sand, in general, is not well regarded for snakes, but I'm thinking the Woma may be an exception due to its natural habitat.

I also mighty try brown construction paper, as someone mentioned in a post some time ago. Newspaper is too ugly (beautiful snake on ugly substrate = do not want) and the ink rubs off, I just can't stand the stuff. I don't like aspen either. Yes, I am rather particular.
