I want to move all my ball pythons onto paper towels. It is much cheaper and easier to maintain cleanliness with them as opposed to Aspen shavings.
But my question is, how do you keep the humidity up with paper towels if they get saturated with water so easily?
Can you still safely spray the tank with water to raise the humidity levels, or will this dampen the paper towels too much and risk scale rot?
What do you do instead if spraying doesn't work?
And do I need to turn the temperature down for their heat mats (they are hooked to a thermostat) since paper towels are thinner than Aspen, or do I keep it the same?
If paper towels aren't recommended, what about newspaper, and the above questions but with regards to newspaper instead?
Thanks a lot.
