I personally have tried several different substrates for corns and I find that aspen works best IMO........

Repti carpet is just a breeding ground for bacteria. With the disposable paper towels its easy as its all thrown away. The carpet would need to be washed thoroughly & disinfected every time the snake pooped or peed to be as clean as the shop towels. Mark
