    Newb Question

    So im positive this question was asked but I've heard a couple different answers. Is it necessary to put a repti carpet and/or newspapers down underneath whatever substrate you are using. Some say yes, some say don't worry about it. What do you guys that use the glass tanks think? Or anyone think?

    Don't use reusable substrate. When they go potty it is usually very epic and it will be nearly impossible to clean it with no smell leftover.

    Don't use the cage carpet.

    Got it! So newspaper it is, or paper towels.
