I use a tupperware onion saver that I cut a hole in for mine to crawl in and out and I just have a moist paper towel in there that I keep misting and change periodically, he loves going in it, normally right before he is going to shed.... and its dome shaped on top so its the perfect size.

you could use alot of things for the hide its self but as for whats in it i use eco earth it stays moist for a long time and i find it works great

used to use papertowels and eco earth, but its messy. at the advice of a breeder ive switched to orchid moss

I use a small deli cup filled with sphagnum moss, sometimes I will use vermiculite for egg layers. I will usually use paper towels for hatchlings.

We use a lot of Exo Terra medium caves....when the gecko gets milky and ready to shed, we just take a crumpled 1/2 paper towel, saturate it with warm water, and put it in the corner of the hide. The humidity in the hide goes way up, like a sauna, and the geckos shed just fine. Saves a lot of mess working with moss, etc. This method has worked very well for us.
