To create a humid hide for your Leopard Gecko Crested Gecko O

Moist skin (lay-Box) is a place of rest for your gecko to retire, which retain moisture for a simple, and even eggs shed. Most geckos need a skin moist, but you should check sheet special care of your pet. This area can be decorative or simply functional. The following information describes a possibility, an affordable, highly functional design hides.

The supplies you need is a soldering iron to make your wet hide, hide material (I selected vermiculite), cheapSandwich box of plastic milk jug cap (or cap the same size), and a marker. The hole can be done with a bit of decent size, but I believe that the iron cuts cleaner and easier to use.

Humidity Chamber

Start with the pursuit of a circle on top of the cover cap plastic sandwich box, vase and marker. It 'really does not matter if you have an angle, as I chose, or if you take the circle in half. It does not matter if the circle is not perfect.

Before you start to melt the hole fromPlastic more sure, in an area that has lots of ventilation. The exhaust gases from the melting plastic is toxic and should not be inhaled. Also be very careful with a soldering iron, because it is very hot, and can easily slip, what a bad burn. Now, with a soldering iron, slowly begins a hole on the rim. Slowly the iron line around the track until you have completely across the board with a soldering iron.

Cut the hole, you can go around the circleTo melt the iron again with any small, sharp points left on the plastic.

Now you're ready to add the material fur. A decision that will make you have to do is what was contained in the skin. Materials such as paper towels, sphagnum moss, peat, vermiculite, etc. may be used. Consider the material's ability to retain moisture and how easy it is for the geckos a mess. I usually add enough material to cover put all the eggs of females. As an example ofcrested and leopard geckos, I add about an inch and a quarter of vermiculite or peat.

Ready for water! I like to add enough water to wet the material, but not 'wet'. If you are unable to collect the material and the ring of water, the mixture is too wet. It is necessary to coat at least once a week to verify the presence of moisture. If it is too dry, add a small amount of water.

It's so easy! Do not forget to pick up the iron:)
