What is the best substrate for a rhino iguana?

I currently just use newspaper but besides being unsightly I feel like there must be something she would like better as well.

It may not be estetically pleasing, but newspaper is very practical. I have also used fake grass mats and alfalfa hey. The problem with loose substrates like sand is that it can be accidentally injested. Monitor closely if used. An acquintence lost a $ 5000 lewesi to impacted intestines -- It was eating the sand.
