Is this okay for a leopard gecko?

[Brendan]

Well I know leopard geckos need some sort of a humidity shelter for their shedding and stuff.

I'll be using one of those plastic containers with a cut opening that everybody else uses, but what about for the substrate inside of it? I could use damp paper towels, right? I have "Bounty" paper towels, would those type of paper towels work?

i think you have the wrong section to post this in, but that sounds good. i use paper towl substrate and peat moss for the shelter, (until they kick it out, then i use paper towl.)

Does it have to be non-bleached paper towel?

Cause I have that white Bounty papertowl and I'm not sure if its bleached or not.

We use regular white paper towels at work. Keep some moss in like a little bowl and moisten that in addition to a water bowl. It helps them regulate temperature and stuff.

For the record, leopard geckos aren't invertabrates. Make sure you dust its crickets I can't stress that enough. Some lizards you will never have to but geckos aren't one of them especially not these.

yes, give it a moist or humid hiding spot is a good idea. it is important and will help them shed, otherwise, it might lose a toe or more, sometime the shed skin can get stuck on their eyelid too. When this happen, apply a warm damp paper towel for a minute and take a tweezer and carefully remove it.
