The Exo Terra Gecko Cave makes the perfect addition to your gecko terrarium. A secure hide is an essential feature of the natural terrarium. A proper hiding area is often an underestimated and necessary feature of a natural terrarium. Without a safe spot to hide and sleep, reptiles and amphibians will easily develop stress that will affect their activity and appetite. Hideouts also provide a shelter and/or a cooler and moister area in the terrarium. Without a proper hide and sleeping area, geckos can easily develop stress that may affect their well-being and appetite. The natural look of the Exo Terra Gecko Cave can be easily integrated into any type of terrarium, and its sturdy design prevents it from being easily tipped over by larger geckos. The Exo Terra Gecko Cave is also extremely useful as nesting hide for various species of geckos. To create a moist hide just add moistened Exo Terra’s Forest Moss or Sphagnum Moss. Nesting hides should be kept moist at all times.
Over the years, Exo Terra has become the market leader in reptile products for the natural terrarium. This achievement was made possible by the philosophy of successful, continuous innovation, which has become a basic underlying commitment, a culture and an attitude. Exo Terra has developed a complete line of terrariums and terrarium accessories, including glass terrariums, reptile terrariums, frog terrariums, turtle terrariums, snake terrariums, gecko terrariums, bearded dragon terrariums, small terrariums, large terrariums, terrarium humidifiers, terrarium heaters, terrarium thermometers, terrariums heat lamps, terrarium light bulbs, terrarium plants and terrarium decorations.

Love it, I think it's good quality, but the medium size is for sure too small for an adult leopard gecko. The inside is the perfect size, but the opening is just barely big enough for him to fit, I would worry about him getting stuck.

My leopard gecko outgrew his small humid hide, so I got him this and he’s obsessed with it! I really like how this one is more than the other one. It’s a totally different brand. He has so much more room in this. Very comfortable for him and more safe than the other one. He likes to climb up on it too. It’s made very nice and didn’t have any smell to it. I put moss in it and damp it with hot water and he loves it!

First off, my gecko is a full grown, 14 year old male. He's recently been having trouble lifting his back legs, and it's most likely the beginning stages of metabolic bone disease (common in some reptiles, but can be prevented with proper care). I used to have a Zilla Medium Rock Layer for him, but that was way too small and cramped for a full grown gecko. And I honestly believe that the Zilla moist hide I was using before is part of what caused my gecko's back problems too.This Exo Terra Cave is perfect for a COOL, MOIST hide! And it's spacious inside for my gecko to turn around without hurting himself! If you use it as a moist hide, just be sure to spritz it often as the moisture will evaporate eventually. It's essential to have 2 caves for leopard geckos, one moist and cool, and one dry and warm. This one traps in moisture so it's good. Don't recommend using it for a warm hide though because if you use a heat mat under the tank, it won't heat all the way through the tank, the substrate, and then the bottom of this cave too so it wouldn't get warm enough.I love this brand (Exo Terra) because their items are smooth (no sharp edges to file down, nothing to hurt your pets), easy to clean, and the shape of them is very well thought out so that these caves will be perfect for any reptile, amphibian, etc. The lid as shown is detachable for easy cleaning, and easy to spray to keep moist.The Pop Socket in the picture is for size reference. The entry hole is big enough for a leopard gecko and similar sized species. I wouldn't recommend for a ball python or snakes of that size because the entry is an "O" and the snake may get stuck if it is too big to fit through the hole. Could probably DIY and take off the bottom part of the entry though if you're careful.Sphagnum Moss is better for this cave, but I'm all out so using moist paper towels for now.It's awesome, highly recommend it!

My gecko’s love hanging out in this hide. Medium size is perfect in my 20gal enclosure. Good quality and nice appearance.

This is great. I got this from my leopard gecko, but the only thing is the opening is small. I had to sandpaper it so it wouldn’t be so pointy.

I’ve semi adopted a full grown curly tail lizard that lives on my back patio. Every time I feed my chickens their mealworms, he pops out to have a treat. He was living under my storage shed, and I came across this cute little hut for him while looking for a cozier abode. This is the perfect size and the top is removable so I can keep it clean. I put some mealworms inside his new rock and put it in a good location. I’m not sure yet how much he will like it but I’m keeping an eye out

Ordered for a ball python, was smaller than expected, but turned out perfect for the leopard gecko. Seems a bit fragile, but maintains the heat once it's warmed up

we had a tiny garden lizard come inside the house, escaping from the cold, winter weather. after some thought, we ordered this rock hoping ilizard would make it a home and not wander around the house. i liked that the rock opens in half and you can add bedding to it. i added non-chemical dryer lint for insulation before a handful of peat moss not too tighly clumped. Close the 2 halves back and poke a hole for him to burry inside. Within hours, i was thrilled the little guy had indeed moved in. Success!! even better he loves it! i also love that when warm spring arrives this can be transfered outside and its waterproof. Love this so much💓

I got this hide for my new leopard gecko and it’s perfect to use as a damp hide.Size wise it’s actually smaller inside than it seems and I’m really glad I got the large. The door to the hide is a good size but is a little way above the ground so if you have a smaller leopard gecko you may want to add a stone or something under it to help them climb them. I have it in a 4ft viv and takes up very little space. There’s still plenty of room for my guy though and he seems to be happy enough hiding out in there.The fact that it has a base and the whole of the top comes off makes it perfect to add moss and creat a damp hide for a leopard gecko to help with shedding. It’s easy to clean and the lip on the bottom of the base keeps the moss in place even when you lift the top off, so you can check it regularly for any mould or mess.The whole hide looks great and really natural and far more attractive than the homemade damp hides I’ve had for other reptiles.It isn’t the cheapest hide but it’s really practical and I do think it’s worth the money.Overall I’m really happy with this hide and would definitely recommend it, especially the large sized one for leopard geckos.

I'm very happy with this as is my female leapard gecko. It would be too small for a larger male but the female is always using it.
