She's in a tub in a dark rack with the rest of her siblings. She doesn't need any hides. Her water bowl is large enough (and the tub only ventilates when I open it) that the relative humidity within the tub is high enough to prevent shedding problems. So far I've housed over 30 geckos in this rack this way, including freshly hatched babies, and never had any stress or shedding issues. Hides are more necessary when you're keeping a leopard gecko in a large tank, because then the gecko needs a place to escape to and a place of high humidity to shed. Hides aren't the end all, be all of leopard gecko care, ya just gotta know what's really necessary and when. ;-)
