Funny that this topic as come up. A couple months ago my female knob was egg bound and she wouldn't soak in the water at all. I use the plastic tortilla warmers for hides, ( no top and turned upside down with a 2 inch hole drilled in the top).
I decided to put the wet moss in her hide and she took to it right away. I have done the same in every cage now. The Hondos seem to be in it all the time. Every shed is perfect now and this style hide is great for picky eaters too. It seems to provide an "ambush" situation for them. I have tried having the hole in the side of the warmer, but they all seem to prefer the top entry. My Cal kings spend equal time in damp hide and a dry hide that is the same size, temp , ect..
BTW.. The Knob passed all of the slugs at her own pace. That was about one a week and she is perfect again.
