I would use newpaper. The other stuff all looks nicer, but harder to clean. Plus it easier to tell when it needs clean with paper. My jungle has a bath towel in her cage. I ran out of paper one day so i put a old towel it. Come home later that day with paper an she was laying under the towel on the heat. I left it for the night. Figure i change it later. She seem to like it better. She started laying on the floor of the cage more. It's softer for her to lay on. It gives her a hide that she actally uses.( never use her hide box) It's easier to clean up than paper. (doesn't fall apart like wet paper does) so i took her hide out. Now she just got a water bowl, towel all the way across the bottom. and her branches. It give her more room to move around. And she seem happier and more active. I now have back up towels so if i have to clean her cage i can throw a clean one in. (dark green and brown that way it look like dirt or grass).

i am currently using news paper but i think that towels sound like a good idea. several of my snakes dont use the hide and hang out under the paper. sounds like the towel is a better deal.
thanks for the idea
