OK Frank lets take this from a different direction. Like the very begining before you got lost and wondered off in differnt directions. The original post was about a paper product for substrate and my reply expressed a concern over dehydration.

Our original conversation was about caging and that everything we as keepers do to mimic thier native habitat is a bandage fix for our shortcomings because captivity is not thier native habitat.
I do not see anything natural or being a product of mimic, in how most people keep hognose. Non natural substrate, non natural food, non natural temps, non natural social and behavioral conditions, and non natural space. So I ask you, how is that mimicking nature? As a person that is observing them in nature, I just don't see natural in say, 90% of captive hognose husbandry

Please explain to me in 500 words or less how this is not true? Did I do it in less then 500 words?
