I use moss as it doesn't mold, paper towel or kitchen roll will get mildew or mold. Moss lasts WAY longer and has anti-bacterial properties that are good for your snakes, I keep a moist moss hide in each snake n lizard tank... considering putting one in with my scorpions as well.

Re: Humidity
Oh I don't change my moss unless there is poop in it, I do let it dry out for a day or two But I always make sure its nice n warm n damp if it is shedding time.

Re: Humidity
Cool I didn't know moss doesn't mold. If I do this, do I keep the moist hide all the time or just when I see he's going to shed soon?

Re: Humidity
Garters don't really have any humidity requirements but I agree with the others a damp hide is best.

Re: Humidity
They do. Too little humidity gives them trouble with shedding, and too much gives them blisters. Most people say 40-60% is best.
