More surface area (ie smaller pieces) of substrate holds more humidity, so aspen, and even paper towel (more porous, tiny depressions, more surface area), is going to be better than newspaper. You can also increase the size of your water bowl, or move it to the warm side, or block off some ventilation holes when you notice your snake is 'in blue'. Or a combination of all 3.
