Once every two months is plenty, it wont go mouldy pretty much ever.
You will need to keep it damp by spraying quite often though, spray well every other day.

All Leopard Geckos should have a Warm Moist Hide at all times.

Hope that helped.

 

Thanks buddy very helpful

The never ending debate of the moist hide location aha,

I had my moist hides on the hot side for months, and noticed the shedding wasn't being as successful as it was on the cold side, so I now have all my moist hides on the cold side.

 

You're very welcome.

Ah that is fair enough in that case regarding the moist hide, if they will use it over there for shedding alone that's perfectly suitable.

What I find is that all my Leos like many others tend to prefer to sleep inside their moist hides over any others, that would be a danger if they were located on the cool side as obviously cold and damp is the perfect conditions for respiratory infections. I think, generally speaking, because it is such a common behavior that's why the default location should be warm for such hides and can be changed, just as you have, to suit a particular situation.

 

Yeah, all of my leos used to sleep in the moist hide on the hot end, but since swapping hides around, they sleep in the cave on the hot end now, I think mine just loved the heat aha, If I find they are still sleeping in the moist hide when I put the coco fibre in, what should I do?

 

If they choose to sleep in the moist hide at any point when its on the cool end, swap it to the warm and place a dry hide from the warm to the cool in its place.

 

Coco fibre ie eco earth can also be used dried out as a substrate either on its own or mixed with sand or soil etc.

 

okay, I will do thankyou mate, for all the help.

 

My pleasure, if you ever have any more issues feel free to PM me.
