Question about Paper Towel Substrate

x1angelbabyx Sep 28, 2003 12:26 AM

Hi all

My question is almost at the bottom of the page, so I don't know if u guys saw it... but...

Is the brown paper towel a good substrate for a leo cage? It's like the ones in the public restrooms in rolls near the sink hehe~ Do you think that would be good? I'm not sure...

I was going to hold out on getting my leo til next year, but someone online was giving theirs free so I decided to take him in. I already have the terrarium & decorations, so he'll be settled in. Instead of just taking the leo, I'm giving the guy a $20 donation..for some reason I feel bad for taking things for free I'm excited!!! I hope he pulls through!!! I even have a name for the gecKo already! hehe

but yeah... would the brown paper towels be okay?? Thanks all!!

-Aimee

Congrats, yep those paper towlel will work just fine as a matter of fact I use them myself. I think they blend in better with the tank decor.
