    Re: Substructure and humid hide

    I think paper towels work the best. You can always use greenery to make it look nicer. As for the humid hide, you can use paper towels in there too. Just put them in the container you are using as a hide then dampen them and poof - instant humid hide. Just make sure it's not dripping water, that's too much, and make sure to monitor for mold in humid hides.

    Re: Substructure and humid hide

    i use damp peat moss in a small tupperware type of container with a hole cut into the top of it for a humid hide. it also serves as a lay box. several times a week i pop off the lid, stir it up and spray it with some water if it is getting dry.

    Re: Substructure and humid hide

    i get it at walmart. it doesn't look like moss so much like sphagnum moss or something similar looks but more like kind of a thick fluffy potting soil. you should be able to find it in the gardening section.

    Re: Substructure and humid hide

    Reptile carpet really works nicely for these guys...its probaby the best looking and is as easy as newspaper or paper towels.

    A gladware container with damp paper towels inside with an entrance hole cut into the side makes the best humid hide. They are pretty good about finding their way into them as well.
