News paper vs paper towel

[gusanr14]

Newspaper ink is plant based and non toxic. The worst that would happen is it would cause your BP to have ink on him.

If you are concerned with ink then either use unprinted newspaper you can get just about anywhere or just use paper towels. The difference between the two is not even worth concerning yourself with.

If you are concerned about humidity, you might want to use something better than paper such as coco fiber or cypress mulch.

As for holding heat, the UTH and a good hide on top of it will do far more for heat than any substrate.

I guess humidity isn’t a issue but was just wondering. But heat wise, any big difference in news paper or paper towel? Like does one of them have better heat transfer kind of stuff?

No they both are equal when it comes to heat. They are less insulating than plant substrates and better insulating than nothing at all.

You use paper towels or newspaper for two reasons... temporary quarantine to provide a sanitized environment and/or ease of cleaning when needing to change out the entire substrate frequently. Outside of that there is really no benefit to paper products.
