    Paper towels for the ones in a rack & aspen for the PVC enclosure.

    Agree!

    I layer it on top of the clay balls which does a good job of holding water beneath the soil, thus allowing the humidity to remain constant.

    I use artificial grass. It can be easily washed and cleaned. Looks great too

    I agree, coconut husk never moulds when kept clean, I use it for pretty much everything with newspaper for dryer times and cooling. The only drawback I have with the husk, is that you can't let it go completely dry or it makes dust, apart from that perfect for BP, Corns, BRB, Frogs, but not for Beardies or any dry animals.

    Paper towel or newspaper. I don't like aspen or shavings anymore, lol. Paper towels are easy and cheap. Plus you can get them from the Dollar Tree :)

    Butcher paper. I get 1,000 feet of it for cheap at samsclub and bought a holder/cutter on Amazon.

    coco-husk. I've always been a coco-husk guy. I used cyprus mulch when I first got into them but it was too expensive, then I used Aspen when I was breeding rats (made it easy to just have the one bedding). I find newspaper and paper towel makes it too hard to keep the humidity relative, even with my humidifiers and heaters.. Coco-husk is perfect IMO.
