humid hides

how do you keep your humid hides from getting moldy or mildewy?

I am planning on using a tupperware container with a hole cut in the top for a humid hide for my leopard gecko and also for my corn snake and it seems to me that that would cause molding problems

please advise or correct my assumption if possible

thanks

good air circulation and a good change of the peet moss or whatever you use to keep it moist, id say everytime it starts to show lil signs...when i had my humid hide i made with towel paper on the top i didnt get any mold or anything...maybe use towel paper?

I've never had any problems with my humid hides developing mold. They are the simple hides with a small entrance hole cut out. I usually use papertowel in them, and change it whenever... maybe around 2-3 weeks?
