Samee here, I dnt own one yet I will soon although I work w. B.P's Alll the time, but honestly I never heard of anyone usingg tiles, and newspaper isn't bad becuase Bp's do not borough(I might of spelled that wrong) what works for me is Aspen even though theirs plenty of other stuff you can use and as far as humidity goes you have to keep that at 50-55% if its to high your BP can get what's called respritory infection I HIGHLY recomend you research that. Goodluck for the near future
