does anyone make there own D.I.Y leopard gecko hides that look nice :slfg: ?

also because commercial hides are so expensive!

is terra cotta pots or clay (granny a potter so could make) safe for reptiles? and terra cotta pot make good hides if cut in two? :dunno: and filled with moss?

photos would be great from anyone who has had experience with this!

Do you just buy the coconut from the supermarket and boil in pots till all the flesh goes?

Cheers

take out the flesh and boil the coconuts till the black stuff comes out of the coconut and yeah mate coconuts from supermarket or u can buy hides from ebay

I do a bit of woodworking and have dreamed of making some. You could make them from pottery. I use icecream containers--look ugly but work well as I add moist sphagnum moss and inspect them daily. Because of that I prefer them to have a base to keep the moss contained and to have a lid so I can get good access and make a hole in the side. When I get some good bits of natural wood I will give it a go. Could be a good excuse to shoot over to the west coast.

I built a DIY basking rock, can't see why you can use the same principle to make a cool hide?

Just depends on whether you like the look or not?

This was my first attempt at one.

I think that material would work well and look good too.

reminds me of a cow pat??
