Is there some benefit to using a mix, or is it just personal preference?

I use paper towels. I used this papery stuff, not sure what it is, before that. The paper towels don't seem to hinder the humidity either, which makes me a happy camper. It also puts the snake closer to the heat source so when he's in his hide, or he's just come out, he's all toasty warm.

the coco keeps the humidity up in my tanks, I could use straight coco but I just wanted to be different LOL:gj::gj:
I only need to mist on feeding days (5 days), when they are out and in their feeding tanks. Gives me time to fluff the substrate and check if there are any spot cleans I missed.

I use Repti-bark (fir) or cypresss substrate. I've never used it but, here is a good video. I don't like linoleum because it needs to be laid using 100 lbs or greater weights to prevent it from bubbling, however self adhearing flooring tile looks like they'd work pretty good. (Yes there's a difference. sorry for being anal.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnIBIeoHjv4

i like linoileum because its easy to clean. and all you have to do it spray it down and wipe it off. it like newspaper or paper towls but u use it over and over agian :)

well iof u cut a peice of linoleum for a terrarium (glass) but u dont glue it down to the floor so you can take it out and wipe it off

You can't go wrong with Coconut Fiber! It's cheap, holds humidity excellently and is super easy to "spot" clean.
