Hello, I have two Leopard Geckos and I have been noticing that normally the moist hide I have set up for them only stays moist for a few days at most. I was hoping by posting this I could get some suggestions for a better way of doing this.
Please take note that it is very, very dry here. The humidity today was 36% (which is often dryer).
What I have set up is a plastic container with a hole in the front of it, a lid on top, and paper towels as a substrate. I really don't have the time to spray it two times a day, or I'd definitely forget.
Would using a different sort of hide be better? Should I use moss as a substrate instead? Would putting a mister in it help? (I've heard these can cause respiratory problems, but would it be okay if turned down, or is it possible to put a water drip in there or is it not necessary?)
