I needed to clean Malfoy's tank today. He shed/pooped/peed while I was on vacation, and those things were all taken out by my pet sitter (who is afraid of snakes, so kudos to her!), and I finally had the chance to do a complete cleaning.

Since it was last-minute, I used a towel for bedding. I don't have a thermostat for my UTH yet, and I was worried about the glass being too cool, so didn't want to use just newspaper.

I'm just curious if anyone has done towels long-term, and what pros/cons would be, other than being able to throw the towel in the laundry when it needs cleaned.
