    Newspaper, but all three of our boys are in a rack, so humidity isn't an issue.

    Depends on the animal.

    Cypress for my adults and aspen for my hatchlings.

    I use a mix of aspen and cyprus mulch. Not mixed in together, but separate areas of the vive. The mulch especially under/around the water bowl in case of spills (doesn't mold like aspen when wet) or if someone is playing around in their dish...
