    Talk about irritating.

    Ok, so how did all of you get your lizards to like their clear box hide boxes? I really think I need to do something ike glue sand to them like the other guy mentioned.

    I put each leopard gecko into the hides twice yesterday, and I haven't seen them go into them on their own since.

    Also how big a hole do you make for them to get into the boxes?

    I really think this is a PITA, I might as well switch over to calcium sand.....

    My leos wouldn't use the hide box at first, until Hobotramp suggested that I move it closer to the cooler end. It worked like a charm. Apparently it was too hot and/or humid for them. Mine is clear also, and they use it all the time.

    HHHMMM, well to begin with mine were always on the cool side, as I hadn't hooked up the heating pads yet. LOL! This is AZ and in general the problem is keeping the house cool enough to be comfortable, much less WARM!!! ROTFL!

    I may have to move to a substrate w/a cave sitting on top instead of paper....
