Damp paper as substrate

[Azhael]

I kept my marmoratus on this for some time and it made things a lot eassier, so i was wondering if this would also be ok for phryticus juvies.
Right now i have them with soil(rather dry), and though they are doing ok, i´m having problems with the soil sticking to the food. I feed them on a piece of plastic sheet, but sometimes they manage to foul the food with dirt anyway. Even with the fruitflies they sometimes take tinny bits.
I know this species likes it dry, but i´d like to know if anyone has had success with paper towels. If they are just slightly damp and not wet they should be ok, wouldn´t they?

Not sure if it would be suitable. But you could stack some pieces of corkbark to provide dry places on top of the damp paper towels. I've added some damp moss to my tank recently and they sit in that all the time nowadays.

I was thinking of adding a flat rock in on side(to serve as dry surface), and of course providing several hides, both on the paper towels and on the rock. my guess is that they will choose what they prefer. But since i´ve always seen them in the most humid part of their tank(where the little humidity left condensates) i´m guessing slightly damp is not that bad for them, they actually seem to seek humidity...
I´m concerned about the skin problems though that´s why i was asking if anyone had experience with this.... I think if i don´t solve the problem of soil and food soon i´ll try the paper towels(obviously providing excelent ventilation).
