There is a guide in the Hatchling 101 thread http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=9878

But i wouldnt use the black tape. Smooth the edges of the entrance with a nail file and a lighter (be careful with the lighter as it may melt the plastic, use it lightly, and watch you dont burn yourself)

The simplest damp hide is just your regular hide with a face cloth in it or even just over the top of it (I use this technique with all mine, never had an issue).
