No advantage really, probably more personal preference. I also put the holes at the top of the lay box. I'll get a picture of my tub to show you what I'm working with. Give me a second.

Here's one of my males tubs. He currently gets a female egg laying hide because I'm looking for smaller tupperware containers but you get the idea.

The hole on the top keeps the gecko from being able to push out the substrate. I also have my hole on the top for all my juveniles and adults.

the advantage is cleanliness.

Lol I wish my geckos would dig or push around the moss. However, they're boring and just lay on top.

Oh, I use paper towels in the moist hide. Tried some sphagnum moss but just smelled kinda musty to me and I was worried about it harboring bacteria. I think I feel safer with the paper towels, just have to moisten them/change them more often

Mine haven't used the moist hide since i got them. Guess they aren't shedding so they don't need it.

A lot of mine live in their moist hides, they love them. I do use the hole on the top for females with their layboxes, for the reasons mentioned...it's to keep it clean so they can't dig the cocofiber out. For males I usually have the hole on the side and use strictly paper towels to keep the environment cleaner for them, and to lessen impaction risk.

mine basicly. However, i put a old mealie container right sideup on it, put a hole through the bottom on the container and the top of the hide, added some tubing and now i can fill up the mealie container with water and let it drip into the humid hide. Ive caught rango drinking from the end of the tube a fewtimes.

Mine used to like to sleep in his moist but he hasn't used it for like 2 months and when he sheds he tends to just go in his regular hides.

 

[TranceZ]

Mine are always in the moist hides

Everyone feeds their leos differently. I like to have a constant supply of mealworms in their dishes at all times with an exception of 2-3 days in between some weeks waiting on mealworms.

Usually a week after they hatch I'll began feeding them by dropping a few mealworms near the opening of an hide to get their food response. Once I know they're eating on their own, usually within two weeks of hatching, I'll leave a shallow dish in their tub with mealworms in it.

Then usually by a month, they will always know where the food is at all times.

Yes, all my geckos eat from the dish. Sometimes I'll mix it up and feed them crickets once a month, but they never have a problem finding the mealworms from the dish.

Mine wont eat at all, theyll eat if i drop them in front of them. But if i leave in dish they wont.

 

[TranceZ]

I'm sure they would eat it from the dish if you left them in there everyday.
