What?!! Are you insane? To actually go outside and gather elements for your captives is crazy! Next thing you're gonna tell us is that you go get "hollow logs" from the the wild as well! Or leaf detritus! My god! think of the germs! The antigens! I ve read on the web that monitors do best on newspaper, pvc climbing structures, they dont really need any sort of hidebox, reverse osmosis water served in kiln sterilized pyrex glassware, a constant 82 degree temp throughout the cage provided by a UV light of precisely 87 watts, placed on top of the screen top of the tank, as well as a small hot rock(remember those, kids?), fed one mouse gut loaded with iceberg lettce, once a week, and handled three times a day to keep it managable. Of course, this is more along the lines of "short term" management.....
