    newspaper. he is in a tuperwear container and hiding 24/7 so whats the point in wasting money on something that may look better than you cant see.

    Good point!

    You left out cypress.. some of my fellow display tankers use it for the humidity. I personally use aspen because it is easier for me to see things I need to spot clean.

    Re: what kind of substrate do you use?

    thanks for all the feedback. the purpose of this poll was to help me decide on a new substrate (mine is in a tank so I'd like the substrate to look nice). right now I'm using reptibark and it doesnt seem to help at all with keeping humidity up. Now that I have my t-stat I'll be getting another UTH so I dont have to use a lamp anymore, that should help with humidity levels, too.
