I use both...paper towels on babies up to 100 g.
Newspaper up to about 400 g
Aspen from then on.
Easy to spot clean and change completly out as needed. Average total replace maybe once a month,,,,just depends on the snake and the mess they make.
Just started using Aspen last year when the collection hit about 15 adults and love the result (now collection is more than dbl in adults)...wish I would have done it sooner.
