Since you mention the uth. I will assume you are worried of fire.

The combustion tempature of paper is around 842 degrees.. so yes you have very very little risk of fire.(anything electrical runs a small chance of fire.)

Paper towels are perfect to use for a baby gecko.

I was reading the instructions that came with the uth, and it warns against using subtrates like papertowels. So i wanted to double check.

That may be because they are so thin there is a risk of burning the geckos as nothing is in place to diffuse the heat (tile, sand, etc.). As long as you have a thermometer and a thermostat to adjust the temperature you should be fine.

Be carefull when feeding on paper towels. I have seen a few geckos that overtime became impacted when stricking for food they mis and end up eating the paper towel.

paper towels are what i have used and there has been no problems

I guess the owners of these few where not as fortunate to have geckos with good striking vision.

your only real concern is to be carefull when feeding on paper towels. I have seen a few geckos that overtime became impacted when stricking for food they mis and end up eating the paper towel.

Wow, I didn't know geckos could consume whole sheets of paper towel? :main_rolleyes:

Not my geckos. The cases I have seen developed over time, ripping pieces of the paper towels along with crickets.
