How about a sponge? Holds moisture a bit longer than papertowel does and has a rough side they can rub against when shedding.

Paper towels for most... If they're huge and tip their boxes they have peat... Breeding females are always on peat...

i use the moss here. Btw what do you guys use for a moist hide? i know many people, including me just use old tupperware and stuff but it seems like such an eyesore and it throws off the whole look of the terrarium. Anyone got a cheaper alternative? Or am i doomed to always use a land-o-lakes container....

i also use a tupperware container, but a churched up version. basically just hot glue chunks of styrofoam all over it, cover that with grout, paint & seal.

I was going to use paper towel, but I think I'll go with moss if my pet store sells it :) Getting some good feedback for it.

I use a little hamster hide, IMO I think it will retain the moisture well with the smaller opening and larger inside.

A couple days after I voted on this poll, I got ride of the sphagnum moss and now I just do paper towel. The crickets were getting into the moss and dying in it, making it very nasty. They don't like the paper towel as much and it is much less messy and easier to replace than moss. Toon doesn't seem to mind the difference.

Hi use to thin long sponges and dampen them through the day and she always moves them to where she wants them in the hide.
