    Aspen here but switching to Coconut Fiber soon.

    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
    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.
