I use the free newspaper they throw at my house on Wednesdays and Sundays. Occasionally I bum a stack from my mom and/or mother-in-law.  Free is good mmmkay?

Re: substrate
i use coco, it sucks cause i use the bricks and have to dry it for 2-3days in the oven before use, but it looks nice, holds humidity almost perfectly, and i can bury the water bowls in it so i can use tupperware instead of ceramic

Newspaper.
1. Its free
2. Makes clean up easy
3. IMO its safer than any substrate.

I think I'm the only person here who haaaaaates paper towels/news papers. They are horrible to use, for me!
I hate not being able to spot clean. Ah!
Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.

Re: substrate
I use coconut husk chips. Holds humidity well, easy to spot clean, smells good and isn't as messy as loose fiber like eco earth. I use eco earth for my toad and slate tiles for my leopard gecko.

I think not having the ability to spot clean encourages a cleaner/healthier enclosure since you have to clean it out so often.

Is that a good price? 
I just picked up a 5.5 foot compressed block of coco coir for 100$ it expands to just over 1000 quarts at about 9¢ a quart. That does me for 18 months.
