I was hoping to start one for my snake for a regular food source and
wondered how i might adapt that to avoid using large amounts of compost to
make it easier to remove them at a later time.
@HealingGrounds1 Red wiggler worms are often called manure worms, so both
of these common name usually are referring to Eisenia fetida. This is the
most common composting worm.

Fran, Newspaper no longer has lead ink. It is also a relatively
non-processed paper and its a readily available resource. Avoid the glossy
pages. Do avoid using shredded copy paper as it is laced with chem for prin
ting purposes.

So question regarding using newspaper and keeping things ‘organic’. Are
there toxins to worry about from newspapers (ie ink/colours etc) ?

Red worms are ideal for worm composting. They are manure worms or Red
Wigglers.
