leopard gecko help?

Question

how can i make a moist box for him?

Answer 1

They have leo shedding stumps or the egg laying caves (I have the medium for my breeding geckos) at pet stores. A cheaper method is using a tupperware container and cutting a hole in the lid big eough for the gecko to crawl in and out of. Also, make sure the container isn't too high so the gecko can get back out after it gets in. I use vermiculate in my hides, but I have also heard that you can use spagnum moss too. Just make sure you keep it moist (Not soaking wet). Here are a few sites to help you: http://ezinearticles.com/?Humid-Hides-For-Leopard-Geckos&id=427575

Answer 2

get a plastic rubbermaid container put a paper towel on the bottom held by the container lid, cut a hole in it big enough for the gecko to crawl in and out of it and spray the paper towel a few time with a water bottle to get it moist be sure to replace the paper towel every other day and moisten it daily

Answer 3

get a plastic sandwich box big enough for it to fit in and turn around comfortably.cut a door way in the front and make sure you smooth off any sharp edges.then fill with sphagnum moss.when the moss dries out you can spray it again or just replace it.put the box toward the warm end of the viv and the heat on the damp moss will keep it nice and humid.

Answer 4

or better just wet the bedding substrate in one corner of the tank and put something over that place so that the gecko can crawl under it (like into a tunnel)- just anything- a chunk of tree bark or cork bark or wood i the shape of a dome, nice looking wooden box or clay pot laying on its side partly burried in the wet substrate, etc , etc. Wet paper is generally not a good idea - doesnt look particularly nice, gets torn in shreds, gets slimy and mouldy in short time
