Hi all,

Iv unexpectingly come into care of a new leo. I had one for 16 years before so i know what im doing care wise. the only thing is my hides i ordered online still havent arived Im wondering is it safe to use a simple cardboard hide?
or will the hot side be too hot for anything of that nature

cardboard stuff works fine for hides. I sometimes use paper towel or toilet paper rolls for hides for babies. Obviously they don't hold up to any sort of moisture. But it's easy enough to just put a new one in if it starts to get funky.

I ended up making cardboard hides for my new gecko since I could not afford to buy any. I am liking the cardboard ones a lot better than the bought ones.

Cardboard hide places work great and it seems to attract the crickets to it so often at night i can hear the geckos pecking the crickets off the cardboard. but it does get a bit funky but swamping them is easy and cheap.
