New humid hide

Yup, you could definitely do that. I decided to measure temp and humidity outside the hide as a rule, because I know it should be slightly warmer and a lot more humid inside it. Since s/he has apparently never had a good shed, I am hoping to enable one within the next few sheds.

Marla, were the smaller ones lower in height or just not as wide?

Both, Tiger. The smallest ones there were about the size of a standard small mixing bowl, probably 6" or 7" high. There may be smaller ones at garden stores, but I'd guess they wouldn't get much smaller than that.

Great idea Marla, keep us updated on how it works out!
Glad the new guy/gal is doing well!

Thanks, Rusty! i caught him/her in the hide last night as I went to bed, but apparently the hole I made was a little small because s/he came in from the bottom instead. ;)

I've learned with herps, no matter how nice or convenient you make things in their enclosures (or how hard you worked on it..lol), they will always find another route..lol

Yep, I definitely see that, too, whether it's burrowing under newspaper or hiding in the rim of a container or whatever. :)

You are so innovative! I really think I'll use that idea. You could even cut it to the perfect size, unlike little rubbermaid-type bowls. Thanx 4 the idea... :)

You're welcome! You could definitely cut it to the right size, and could put the entry anywhere you wanted (use an X-acto to make it easier). I'm glad I spotted it, because I'm pretty sure I'll be using more of these in the future. They are also available with a flat side for baskets shaped like that, and that might work better for some enclosures. Heck, you could probably cut one of those in half and put one side against a wall to make two good hides.

You're just full of brilliant ideas, Marla! You should find a way to patent some of these! :D
