Cheap but still effective moist hide?

Well hey gecko peeps! Quick question. Earlier today I was taking a look at Rocko's (admittedly sparse and inexpensive) setup (in a 15 gallon tank, planning on getting a 20L eventually)

His moist hide has worked well so far, and it was free! It's the container I brought him home in. I just cut a little doorway for him to walk through since he wouldn't be able to climb through the top (being a tiny little baby and all)

But boy is he growing FAST! This little container won't be big enough before long and that means he'll need a new place to go and be moist. I'm planning on just going for the tupperware-container-with-a-hole-cut-in-the-top deal but before I did anything I figured I'd ask you guys what YOU found works best. Maybe save me a little trouble along the way haha!


For the record, that first picture is less than a week from when we brought him home and he was maybe 4" and this one

is from about a week ago, nearly 6". About an inch of growth a month.

I found using something like take-a-way bowls and cutting a entry and exit hole worked well and then putting moss or something like that in side them. And with the lid I just but duct tape over it and cut around the edges since they enjoy the day. Here are some pictures.
