Can I use palm tree leaves to make a hide for my Leopard Gecko?

I know you can't use anything with cedar or pine, but I have all these great dry palm leaves and bark that I think would make a perfect hid box for her. Thanks!

It wouldn't hurt to have them in with her as long as you have moist peat moss inside for her so that she can shed properly. My gecko is a little picky, so i had to give him a cave and a little palm tree to lay under. So if you choose to use the palm leaves offer another hid at the other end of the tank and let her choose which she likes.
Reply:you could, it won't hurt him, but leopard geckos are a desert species not a tropical species, so it rely isn't natural for him.
Reply:It would be better to just buy a hide box or make one out of a ptastic container with a hole cut in it.
Reply:I wouldn't, I'd buy a hiding place for him.
