I moved my fatties into some bigger bins so I could fit more stuff for them. I think I like the size, but I'd appreciate comments and suggestions on the setup. These aren't the final bins, just temporary, I need a rack that's designed for bigger bins (my baby BTS rack is just too small).

My biggest question is about the moist hides. I modelled the hides after a friend's leopard-gecko-moist-hides. The hole is on the top. So far I haven't seen these girls go into the hides at all. Should I have done side-entry instead? They're also pretty full of moss, should I take some out?
Basically, could you tell me what the ideal moist hide is? And does the moist hide double as a lay-box for breeding?
The dish has some calcium (w/ D3, should I use no D3? I'll go buy some). It also has a bit of dried leopard gecko food (flies) just to see if they'd try them. No go on the flies, but the calcium was either licked up or spread around.
My room is starting to get cold at night (probably under 70). What's too cold for these guys?
I realize most of this is on caresheets, so I'm going to go re-read a bunch now. I'd still appreciate answers, suggestions on what to improve, and any photos of your setups for AFTs.
Many thanks,
Melanie
