    well news paper it not exactly natural but it works REALY good and its cheap and easy to clean, and if u need humidity cypress is really great because it holds it real well and looks nice, and you can also use shredded or chipped aspen (i prefer shredded)

    Cypress is your best bet for holding humidity.

    I also use coco fiber. Great at holding humidity, looks great, will not cause injury if swallowed and it is an eco friendly product.

    What they said ^

    I too use Cocoanut Fiber, Eco-Earth to be exact, I mix it with ReptiBark too though about a 50/50 mixture.

    And I love the nice dark natural look it gives, and it holds humidity amazingly well.

    Yeah...that's exactly the stuff I use too. It is much easier than soaking those bricks.
