Hi everyone

After all my snakes have had two sheds it is now obvious that one of them is a bad shedder and im just wondering if people could share some photos of how you have made a moist hide or have one set up

Thank you in advance :-)

I just put sphagnum moss under both of Apollo's normal hides, leaving enough room for him to sit on top of the moss. That seems to work for us

I have a tub I buy crickets in, lid on, upside down, with a door cut in :) moss inside sprayed every so often to keep damp, stuck in the warm side. Nothing special but my gecko loves it. And now smells of moss lol!
