Awsome guys.
Sense I've never done this before, I figured asking a few people who have done it a while might give some perspective on things to consider. Sounds like it should be pretty straight forward?

Say I go with some paper towels, just to do the tub testing for temps/humidities, how much should you use?
Just a sheet or 2 deep? Several?

Also, would it be smart not to change bedding while the snake is new, or should this not affect the snake.
I.E, going from paper towels to a newspaper type?
