    You can make one.
    Use a container of butter or you can buy one at walmart cut a hole in the side or front line with paper towel and your set.

    I wouldn't use moss in it though because some risks of impaction but you could put paper towel over the moss if needed.

    Yeah, you can buy them, but I would say that making them is just as good for less $$.

    Each of my leo's humid hide is made using a gladware type of container. I basically chose one for each that a)fit well in the tank and :D would be big enough for the leo. Killian loves his, he spends quite a bit of time in it, and I use only damp paper towels. I switch them out probably every other day, and spritz them down in the morning and at nite. :) Hope that helps! :)

    I use cool whip or butter tubs. It's the perfect size. Of if you're up for spending money, you can pick up the Zoo-Med Reptishelter. It LOOKS very nice and 2 of my girls have them. They work great.

    I've also never had a problem with moss, and it holds the humidity much better than paper towels.
