I use end-roll paper for my primary substrate, the unprinted paper left at the end of a roll from the newspaper industry, as my local newspaper will give me such rolls, still have a couple hundred yards of paper left when they quit running them, so long as I return the spools when I am through with the paper, easy enough as I can drop them off when I return for more rolls.
For a humid hide, I used to use dampened cypress mulch contained within a sweater box with an opening, cleaned it by boiling it when it became soiled, but have since started using dampened cloth towels within the box, since I acquired a stackable washer and dryer to keep within my herp facility dedicated to cleaning such. My wife, though she loves Drys, was not inclined to wash soiled snake linens within the family laundry room. So far, this arrangement has worked quite well…

Best regards,

Jeff
