would just the paper towels be safe over an uth? it said on the instructions that it is dangerous. that is why i was putting the paper towels over the carpet.

and i have had a VERY hard time with keeping his humidity up in his tank. this has been the only thing. i have tried misting him with a water bottle, but it was causing problems (like a mildew smell...) this was a bit more pricey, but it is keeping the humidity at a perfect level at all times. i chose a fogger instead of a humidifier for looks, even though it is not turned on very often. the thermostat had a spot available to plug it in so it can be monitored too. i have to admit, even if it was more expensive, its nice not to have to mist him all the time (which he absolutely hated) when his tank was too dry.
