So I got bored over my Christmas break and decided to get creative and make my leopard gecko a new hide. Whether or not she really uses it doesn't really matter I just wanted to stay busy. I need a little help though and your suggestions are really needed. Here are some pictures.

Looking at the front, the right side is going to contain a moist hide with a tupperware container inside and the left is just a normal hide but they are connected. Each side has its own entrance to make it a little bit easier on the gecko. My problem is that my gecko usually defecates behind the hide that has the UTH under it. I was thinking about putting holes in the back of the styrofoam on each side to help her get behind the hide.

Any suggestions you guys have are welcome and needed. I am going to try to cut out the straight edges and grout and seal it of course.

I like the hides. You are not using up any of the floor space since the gecko can use the roof of the hides, so very clever design.

You don't need holes for her to get back there. Leos are actually pretty good climbers ;)
If you want to make it easier for her, you can build some stairs for her to get down there. :)

I'm gathering ideas to upgrade my leo's tank and I came upon this. I really like this design! Any chance of finished pictures?
 
go to a yard sale, I know in about 3 stops you should have what ya need to make it festive an new, for under 20 bucks I know a single hide at Petco is about that price, your bound to score.
