paper towels

shelbyshea Nov 04, 2007 12:46 PM

We are transfering to papertowels after using sand for many years. We need to save money and quicken up clean up time.
Are there any suggestions on how to set up? How many layers should we put down. Do any of you have pictures of your set up with paper towels. OR is there a better option (that is still cost and clean up efficient?)

Just make sure it covers the whole terrarium floor, and put down a few layers so that the under heating pad (if you use one) won't be too hot. I'd suggest putting down a little square of 2 layers of paper towel in the corner where your gecko poops so that you don't have to change the papers every single time it/they poop.
