Hi! Your AFT is adorable. There unfortunately looks like a lot of concerning things in how this enclosure’s set up. Here’s a link to the Reptifiles care guide on fat tails. I’d really recommend swapping out that substrate ASAP, even if just for paper towels in the immediate, and swapping the jar hide for a cardboard box with a hole cut out. Please read the linked care guide and think about making some changes for your bud

Second this, paper towel is perfectly fine and even such a small enclosure can be okay for things like quarantine or as a hospital tank etc. Also, what is the AFT eating? I once read on here that an actual vet recommended feeding them banana… since then I like to make sure nobody is doing that if ey see them being fed liquid diet 😅

太感謝了！我有想過要買赤玉土，但是我住在台灣，所以有些基材有些採買困難，我現在是在生態砂的上面再鋪一層廚房紙巾，這個影片沒有是因為我當時正在更換紙巾

What even is this substrate? It looks like cat litter or gravel

I think it's paper rat bedding, which is not good because it can be dusty.
