I never used them for my snakes and I have always sifted through any newspaper I got and threw these slicks away. Lately, I haven't had to do that because I would go to the gas stations and supermarkets to get stacks of the free papers called "The Exchange" which are awesome when it comes to lining 74 qt. tubs, and 15 qt. tubs nicely. I also get "Hawkeye Traders" in the same way and they fit the 41qt. tubs just as nicely and these freee papers contain no slicks at all which makes things much easier for me.

I don't really read the newspaper so this might be a stupid question but I can just take as much newspaper as i want from a gas station?

only these free "ad" types of newspapers. Regular newspapers still cost money.

You can, but if you get caught you will make it in the newspaper yourself, the police blotter section. LOL

Easy way to get newspaper is drive around on trash pick up day and check the recycle bins. If you know someone that works in an office like a real estate office you could ask them to save them for you.
