What substrate do you use in your himid hide?

[Liselle]

Eco earth, I love it and the geckos love it.

 

[Imperial Geckos]

I use Orchid Moss...

And switch females to Eco-Earth during egg laying season

 

[Noahboa1]

I use a 2 to 1 mix of Peat Moss and Washed Sand, It stays moist forever and is a good medium for egg laying too.

Sphagnum moss

 

[catfishrod69]

i use moss, but i have noticed that it is starting to mold....dont know if maybe its because i have most of the lids covered with plexiglass to hold in heat....any ideas?

 

[gumbii]

did i all ready post here...?



i use cocofiber stuff... a small layer of it and it works great... doesn't get all over the place...

 

[LadyKaotix]

spagnum moss, with leos, and for tree frog

 

[thatkidhugo]

coconut husk

seems to be going well so far, they are always in there

 

[ctb41808]

sphagnum moss i buy it at a gardening center.It works great for stevie's moist hide and my bog garden!

 

[bryman021]

I use Green Moss and it lasts a long time and hasn't got any mold on in yet. been using it for about a month. I wash it at least once a week.

 

[getgeckos]

I use Sphagnum moss in my moist hides and a hide with perlite as they egg laying box.

Paper towel, one huge advantage is if your leo ever ends up having a problem like rectal bleeding you will be able to see it.

 

[OnlineGeckos]

I've switched to paper towels. I used to use sphagnum moss, but some people have had their geckos ingest them somehow. All my geckos love their moisthide with paper towels, so that's what I use these days so I can sleep better at night

coco fiber

 

[Dimidiata]

question, is a cut piece of washcloth a bad thing or does nobody just useit? lol

 

[geckogirl3]

coco fiber all the way

 

[Glitz]

I use paper towels for one leo, and coco fiber for the other.

Now that I've realized one gecko isn't picky at all (the one on coco fiber) and the other is (the one who wouldn't go near the coco fiber), I'll probably be switching to purely paper towels since it's a lot easier to keep clean.

 

[Desdemona]

I use coco fiber in mine. Two seem to enjoy digging in it. The third probably wouldn't care either way and I don't know if she even goes in there.

I don't know if I would recommend it. Wash cloths can hold germs pretty well and I imagine toes getting stuck might be an issue.

i figured, its already been replaced with pappertowls. Thanks for the advice though.
