Can I fill my corn snake aquarium with toiletpaper on the bottom?
Corn snake
Can I fill up a 4 ft by 25 in aquarium with toiletpaper and boxes and tubes for my corn snake
Snakes don't have butts to wipe, fartknocker!
You could, it just wouldn't benefit your snake. In fact it would probably harm your snake.

No put news paper in it
I can't think of any really serious harm that it would do other than it may not be good for the fluffy ahsy dusty material stuff that sort of comes off the soft toilet paper, that can't be good to get on her tongue or for her to breathe, and also would hate for it to get stuck in her cloacal or something like that. Nobody really uses toilet paper... pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com
Just to be on the safe side, I always recommend either: aspen snake bedding, newspaper, or paper towel. I've used it for years with many different snakes and species, and no problems, and many many others have too, so it has proven to be reliable and pose no health risks to your snakes. There actually is one problem though, if you use newspaper, don't do the comics side up or any page that has a lot of ink, because the ink can sometimes get on your snake, which has never happened to me though. Other than that you should be fine :)
The two biggest no-nos are anything that is pine, fir, or cedar... And sand would be next on that list of the worst substrates.
ADD: OH and as for the boxes and tubes, that should be fine, just make sure they're clean, several of my hides are cardboard boxes (just be sure to switch them out every now and then), and the tubes, as long as they're clean too, that should be fine.
It's good to have plastic hides though, so then you can clean them with warm water and every now and then 10% bleach solution + hot water, as with cardboard boxes you have to be constantly looking for more, because you have to switch them out often.
