Bedding for my BP?

[llohcs1]

Okay, currently my BP has aspen bedding in her tank, but I want to switch to either paper towel, or newspaper. So I was wondering, is one better than the other? Does one retain humidity better?

Aspen will hold humidity better than paper towel or newspaper. If you have a tank, I would keep her on aspen at the least. If you have a heat lamp, you're really going to be spraying constantly to keep up humidity. Why do you want to switch to paper?

She's housed in a 20 gallon tank. And I wanted to switch her to paper towel or newspaper because I was hoping it would retain humidity better than aspen, because I have to spray 5-6 times a day, just to keep it at 60% humidity.

If you want something that retains humidity better try Eco-Earth or cypress bark. Both hold humidity very well in my tanks.

Coco husk and cypress mulch work great to retain humidity. Also some damp moss will help too.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions, I'll go pick some cypress up today! And do pet stores like petco and petsmart have damp moss?

They carry the moss, you get to dampen it.
