I've always used the rolls of brown paper for substrate in my BPs pvc enclosure because humidity has always been high. While I realize this isn't the most attractive substrate, it makes cleanup a breeze. Lately I've been salivating at all these creatively designed enclosures w/ nice substrate, vegetation, rocks, limbs, etc... For those that have these, are they a pain to keep clean?
For instance today when I was leaving for work, I noticed my humidity was at 99% so I knew something was up. I opened up the enclosure and found a huge dump (along w/ a foul odor) which I was able to quickly remove and get on my way. If I had some nice substrate, I would imagine it would be way more time intensive plus I'm not sure if I would be able to completely get rid of the smell like I can w/ the paper substrate.
What's everyone's thoughts?
