Hidey Hole

Halloooooo,

I've seen that there are mixed opinions about whether there should be a hide or not, but I am wondering what people that are using them are doing. I have a few questions for those of you that are willing to answer.

1. How is your built?
2. What do you keep in it? substrate?
3. How are you maintaining humidity levels?

Thanks again

on one enclosure I have a big, big I guess plant vase thing. on another I just have a big piece of I guess plywood lifted up so they can get under and just dig their way down. I also have a bunch of driftwood laying around and they will just burrow under them as well.

I keep cypress and top soil. I prefer my humidity to be 75%.

a hide is needed unless they burrow good n proper. now that my girl is digging in at night and sleeping under the mulch i took the hide out.

Where should the hide be placed on the hot or cold end?

the cool end. make it moist but not wet for better shedding.
