Humid Hide Question

[d13t_p3ps1]

I am in the process of making new humid hides for all my geckos, but unfortunately one of the old hides broke tonight as I was cleaning. I don't have any extra tupperware lying around, but I do have a mason jar. They have more of a square body shape than a round, so it didn't roll easily when I placed it on it's side as a test. Are there any problems with putting wet paper towel inside and using it as a makeshift humid hide until I get the proper ones finished?

How long will it take you to get a proper humid hide??? Honestly, if it is going to be like tomorrow or two days from now, you will not even need a humid hide... 1 or 2 days without one will not be a problem...

Like two days tops. I am just paranoid I guess, lol.

Unless your gecko is in the process of shedding as we speak,
dont worry about it. Just replace it when you can.

Humidity Conditions the Gecko
and also allows for an easier shed.
If you will notice they will go into a humid hide a lot more
than when ready to shed.
If you don't furnish one, you should
probably be misting the tank on a regular schedule.
......Take care. Hj

I use empty plastic butter or yogurt containers for mine. Anything washable with a snap on lid really.

They can live without a humid hide for a few days if they are not shedding. If they are you can just spray them every day.
