Possible humid hide?

[diamondbp]

I was in Walmart and I noticed these coconut liners for hanging plants. I thought perhaps if you flip it over and cut out two entrance holes that you could use it as a hide. It's pretty firm and seems like it would hold up well.
I know it wouldn't "lock" in moisture like a completely closed hide(ex.plastic) but it would let a small percentage of light and heat in.
So I was wondering what others thoughts were and if anyone has ever tried this before?
It was only $1 for this one and one twice this size was $2.50
I didn't set it up yet because I would like to get some opinions from a couple veterans first.
Even if it wouldn't hold in moisture well I think it would make for a nice hiding spot .
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Forgive my dirty turtle hands lol

I think as soon as it gets too wet it will collapse. But, try it. If it works, it's a good idea.

I wasn't planning to soak the hide itself, but it is worth a try. I was mainly aiming to have some moist peat moss underneath it and place the coconut lining on top. I thought it might be dense enough to hold some moisture, creat shade, but maintain a better temperature than a completly closed off hide.

Its definitely worth some experimentation. I figured someone else along the way has tried this but I may be wrong. If it works does that make me a genius???

Do it! Then share the results with us.

I think it will look nice, and packed full with moss will be very warm and humid indeed.

I thought about using those as well but figured my busy bodies would climb up on it and collapse it on whomever was sleeping inside LOL

Did you ever attempt this? Did it work out?
