well high all im going to purchase a pair of LG anytime soon and was wondering when i go to make the humid hide... should i place it in the warm end or the cool end? also can i just use potting soil from the yard in there?

You should place it in the warm end.
I would recomend paper towel for babies/juvenile
and vermiculite or moss for adults...
ps: Congratulations on your new Leo!

I'd reccommend against the potting soil from the yard. besides the risk of impaction (depending on the age, other stats, ect), you never really know what has seeped in that could be dangerous to your leo (ie. pesticides, ect). You also can't be completely sure what bugs/bacteria/parasites are walking around in there.

I'm not too sure how sturdy those TP rolls will be, especially that one on the top...maybe you could get/make some fake rocks or something for him/her instead. And I was just curious how big that enclosure is, it looks pretty small for 2 adults.

well all the tp tubes are connected to each otther with some fine glue.... and the hol thing is atached to the glass with tape.... it seems to hold up well.... i think its eather a 10 or 12 gallon tank....
