Just wondering for the humid hide...for those of you who use a rubbermaid kind of box...do you guys have it right side up with the cover on and seperate paper towel in there? Or do ya's tip it upside down and jus moist the paper towel that it is covering? Thanks

Right side up with the paper towel inside. You'll need to do it that way for a couple of reasons: one being that it takes several layers of paper towels to get it to stay nice and moist, and two being that the humid hide goes on the warm side, and you don't want moisture remaining on the warm side (if you are using a UTH) because it will create stress cracks on the glass.

I'm not sure on others opinions, but since my girl doesnt use hers at all when shes not shedding i just wet paper towels and put them in her normal warm hide when she starts to go white. Later
