Small tupperware with a hole cut out on the lid (or on the side). Very simple, not aesthetically pleasing though.

There is a member here, Neo.Reptiliac, who makes very nice decorative hides and sells them. You may want to check the members list and PM her. She does a great job with her custom hides. Here, I'll make it even easier for you. Here is the link to her profile page: http://www.geckoforums.net/member.php?u=22236 Hi Steph!

Of the two hides you posted I like the bottom one better (it matches my gecko's water dish ). For hides I use plastic tubs with holes cut in them, toilet paper tubes or paper towel rolls, the packaging my cell phone came in, and an old milkbones box full of holes to make a second floor.
Be creative and look around the house; before you throw out or recycle a small box think "how can I use this, would my gecko like it as a hide or climbing toy?"

You may want to find a hide that is enclosed in the back, with only one entry hole. Leos seem to enjoy the dark, quiet hides.

I like the Exo Terra hides, simple but effective They dont look too bad either. I also have the medium rocky cave things and they love those Theyre good to hide in but they can climb up on them too and have fun

Just a word of caution, price doesnt mean its the best Geckos dont understand that something cost more than something else and are similar to children in the fact that they can have more fun in the box than the actual toy :laugh4:

i make my hides out of tupperware containers with a hole cut out. Then to make them more appealing, i glue fake leaves over them. i also fold fake leaves over the cut i made and glue them around the cut so there's no sharp edges. my leo loves her hides that i made for her

My gecko did that when I put in a better humid hide,but then at night she explored it and she doesn't leave it a lot expect to poop and get a little more belly heat by the heat pad.
