I took an container from an old 50 pack of blank CDs, and cut out the middle pole that they sit on, then painted it. If you wanted to get creative, you could glue wood or rocks on it, to make it look more natural. I like the plastic because it stands up to the humidity well and is a breeze to clean.

You could also use a little old tree stump hollowed out, but the humidity might cause moss or mold to grow.

Or you could make a litle mound out of plaster of paris or something, and press sand, rocks, or broken matching tiles into it while soft so they adhered in place and thats kind of natural looking.



>>Okay, so I'm getting my tank all set up in anticipation of bringing home 2 leos. I've picked out some nice terra-cotta looking tiles, natural-looking dishes and hiding places, etc. What can I use for a humid hide? I know the standard recommendations, but now that I've started creating a nice looking habitat, I hesitate to plop a plastic blue and clear GLAD container right in the middle of the whole scene. Has anyone built their own humid hides out of nice, natural looking materials - or is there a commercially made hide out there that works well for the humidity?

>>Maybe it's just me, but it just seems wrong to make my leo habitat look like some careless pic-nicker left their lunch trash in a pristine scene in Pakistan.......know what I mean?
