Here is a link (well almost a link - you will need to cut and paste the web address) of the place Dave gets his Kraft paper.

I bought a roll of it, and it it works great. I believe Dave still uses a layer or two of newspaper underneath the kraft paper.

It is great that people share their set-up's, as the moss pits that Dave also shared work wonderful.

craft paper

I do use two layers of newspaper underneath the kraft paper for added absorbancy.

I use that setup for all my adult and subadult cages. The smaller cages get paper towels.

I also made a jig for my table saw. Sets a cutting edge right at the edge of the blade so I can use the fence to dial in the appropriate lenght to cut the individual pieces to. I use several sizes for the various cages I have.

I like the 75 pound non indented craft paper. I use a 24 inch paper roll cutter and estimate length a little long when cutting so it runs up the sides of the cage an inch or two. I was at the Uline warehouse in Atlanta a couple weeks ago and picked up all I could carry.

nothing to do with craft paper, but made me think artistic, I was dating this girl in the 90's and was at an art gallery in NYC with her, yeah she liked art, the artist was talking to me and I noted seeing his picture in the news paper, he asked me If I saved it ( jokeingly ) . I said no it's on the bottom of my snakes enclosure and he most likely [bleep] on it by now. Well that didn't go over well. LMAO

Nice shots! I love seeing other people's BRB's.
I'm dying to get a decent shot of my sole BRB, but we just can't seem to get any sunlight lately and dreary light isn't the best...
