Housing question for baby leachie

[Solagratia500]

So I've been keeping my baby Nu Ami (2months old now) on papertowels and running a humidifer in my reptile room to help keep up the humidity while I'm at work and can't msit as much(I live up in new england where the winters can be brutal on humiditiy). It's been working but a real pain in the butt, so I got a nice little exoterra that I use for my crestie and garg. I have them planted and they hold humidity great with regular misting. My only concern is without planting it the exo terra may not do as much for a leachie, however I've read putting a baby leachie on any substrate is a no-no. For my guys I udually use a layer of moss over the substrate but I'm still concerned. I thought about laying the papertowels over the substrate but then I can't plant it....so many issues! Any suggestions/advice?

I'm also in New England and feel your pain! I kept my leachie, when he was small, in a 6qt tub with cover. Daily misting worked fine and the cover kept the humidity in. I'm currently housing my last 2 juvie gargs (which are for sale) in these 6qt tubs and the humidity has been fine for them too. I've been advised to keep leachies in a fairly close environment until they get to be about 50 grams. My leachie was moved into a larger cage when I found him at 38 grams sitting on top of his tub! (the tub was inside an empty enclosure so it wasn't a problem). I have had no problem housing juvie and adult Rhacs and cresties in planted vivs with coco fiber as a substrate and sphagnum moss on top.
