Okay so I needed some more hides and found a thread saying something about using Tiolet Paper Rolls. I wanted to make sure it wouldn't roll around on the gecko though so I came up with this. Takes about 5-10 minutes of your time.

Supplies:
Tiolet paper roll
Paper Towel Rolls
Tape (its invisable tape which is why it is not in the picture ;) )
Scizzors (scissors)
Pencil (also not pictured)

Step One:
I cut the Tiolet Paper roll in half and then the halves in half so I had four somewhat equal pieces.

Step Two:
For my purposes I only needed the paper Towel Roll to be as long as the cut Toilet paper roll But you can make it to any length. I marked it with the pencil.

Step Three:
Now for the hardest part and that is cutting the Paper Towel roll to the size you want it. The edges looked nasty in this picture but I trimmed it after the pic.

Step Four:
Now Time to tape the flaps on that will make it so it can't role around! I taped one side on and then the second flao was harder so it may take a few times before you get it right.

The Finished Product:
You could probally do other stuff to it if you wanted but here it is!

what i do for all of my hides in my racks is buy different size of plastic tubs from the dollar store and use black duck tape (also from the dollar store) to cover the plastic so it is dark inside and just cut a hole big enough for the lizard to climb inside

I do the same thing sort of for some of my leos. The containers I have, has a dip around the corners, so I dont have to put anything on the rolls to keep them from moving. Cause they fit in that little groove.
