I use paper towels or newspaper so I can't help you with that question. Sorry :(

the vet i take my snake to said that dents or dimples in the is a sign of dehydration.

I personally like coco husk products I actually use the peat version is is fine bits rather than chunks. I used to use cyprus but I realized how critical to Florida everglades cyprus is and to cut them down for no reason other than to produce mulch seems quite sad to me. Cyprus works well but so does coco and at least where I am coco is way cheaper!

I have the jungle mix. wood chips and it helps me out.

If it is just a dent from low humidity heavily spraying the snake directly with your mister bottle will make it go away within a few hours, maybe a little longer.

If it is a retained eye cap (it will look less dented and more wrinkled, like a raisin sorta) you just need to keep the humidity at a proper level and when the snake gets ready to shed just make sure to spray the snake down a little extra right before it sheds the skin so it has an easier time getting the extra eye caps off.

A few good soaks cant hurt either...
