Is it really needed?

[Karah]

I have used no humid hide with one of my geckos for a couple years and he has had no problems shedding. Do I really need one?

 

[Pudgsr]

no you don't Designer Geckos has done a study on it and says no. They also say if you see the gecko shedding or needs help put wet paper towels in their environment and take them out when done.

I find mine enjoy laying in theirs when they arent even shedding. Even if they dont 'need' them, why not add one? Doesnt hurt.

All mine lay in there even when not shedding

Mine lays in hers all the time, and I haven't noticed any issues.

I have a stack of humid hides in the corner of my gecko room. Whenever I see one of them turning dark or grey I throw one in their and spray it down. They are usually back to their bright colors the next night.

I agree. I always have a humid hide in all my tubs. They may not need it, but it does help make their shedding easier.

I find mine spend more time in their humid hidenthan anywhere. It may not be needed but neither is a couch but you have one because you like it.

lol I love that statement

I give all my geckos humid hides and most of them use it alot. I also see them drinking the condensation off the inside of the humid hide more than I see them drink from there water bowls.

To me its just one of those things that has too many benefits and not doing it just seems pointless

I have a humid hide in every tub. I wet it down when they go into shed. It is good to let it dry out occasionally to resist URI.

My leos use their humid hide a lot and my female always lays her eggs in it as well. A friend of mine's daughter had never heard of a humid hide and her gecko just died after three years. Was it because of a lack of a humid hide? Probably not, but it was some kind of respitatory issue possibly related to humidity (or lack of). Bob
