I would put your snake on aspen or cypress mulch if you want it to have something other than paper to lie on, and remove the towel immediately.

OK! I took the towel out. I really don't like news paper over time the ink has staind the cages.(white boaphile plastic cages) In the 15 years i had snakes i never used aspen or cypress or any of that kind of stuff, and none of my snakes have ever mites. Everyone i know who as use this kind of products have had mites problem at one time or another. Most mites reptiles get are wood mites. Guess where they live? If i used anything other than newspapers it would be sand.
