throwaway glad ware tubs with spaghnum moss worked great for me just keep it moist and it will work well my hole is in the side btw

does the height of the container matter much?

Ok, so sphag moss WILL works as a laybox substrate?

I'd like that much better than cocofiber.

 

[R.E.F]

i use cocofiber or Perlite as substrate.

Every time I have used Spagnum Moss it has had a layer of mold over it in 24 hrs. It might be my batch or something, but I use the Zilla Beaked Moss because of this.

I use a plastic sandwich container, that is not much taller than the gecko's, (1.5") with a hole in the top.

if you get mold with spaghnum moss its too wet remember you just want the lay box damp I have never had box problems with spaghnum and my geckos seem to prefer it to anything else i have used

ok, i'm gonna try the moss idea. the guy that i bought her from said that he used sand or walnut shells in his egg box and she has laid 3 batches using that, i think i'll try the moss and see if she is more likely to lay in that
