    • Surpassed expectations, would buy again.
Size: Medium
Was a little worried reading reviews about other resin decor and personal experience, but this product did not have any sharp edges. It did not have any sharp protruding points either, so no extra sanding down of sharp edges was needed. A surprisingly well-made product, perfect for my semi-aquatic turtle (his shell is about 3.5 inches long). He loves it. It was well packaged/secured with styrofoam inserts, so it arrived in perfect condition. It is visually nice and fairly hefty as well. My turtle loves to make a mess and rearrange things in his tank, so the weight of the decor is important too. ... show more

    • Large Activity Rock for Hiding and Basking at a Great Value
Size: Extra Large
Review Image by Mi Shi
My Usage & Practicality Very nice product. It has large openings, seems to maintain warmth well, and feels thick and bold in any enclosure, so it’s suitable for larger reptiles and fish. It’s a great value because it is easy to set up in a tank, and you can use it as the main hiding and climbing spot instead of buying multiple smaller decorations. I’m using it for my Panther Crab tank since it needs enough space to hide while molting. Style & Structure At first, I expected it to look very freshwater-styled, but you can definitely make a saltwater look with the right coral decorations. I did not notice any smell. Some edges are not fully rounded and might need a little filing, but it is not too bad. Also, rinse and check it carefully when it arrives. Mine had small pieces of packing foam stuck inside from shipping. One concern is that if it is not secured in the substrate, it might rock slightly. Overall, it looks great and works well in medium to large enclosures. ... show more

Is it worth it? Honest review of PENN-PLAX Reptology shale scape rock. This rock has held up great over the years for my dragon, looks great, soft for him to sit on and provides him privacy if needed.

Its a good size but we will definitely need a bigger one soon. It was a little pricey. I think the most expensive thing for his cage we've bought.

I have 2 xlarge caves and both have been great. I use one for my box turtles and one for a crested gecko. I also had a smaller one for my box turtles when i first got them. I dropped it trying to clean the enclouse and it broke. I dropped it from a good height onto a concrete floor. Nothing breakable has ever survived a fall to this floor. After it broke my box turtles got mad and stayed mad for 2 months until I got the xl one. My box turtles are about 3 years Old are finally out growing the xl cave at about 4 inches, but they have loved it. Since I bought it they've lived under it full time. It's home cave out of three hiding spots. The other I bought for my red eared slider. He ended up being too big at 4 inches for it. But my crested gecko fits it perfect. She's still small but it'll be the perfect thing for her to grow with and she will be able to keep it as an adult. The pics of my gecko are of her hospital tank when I brought her home. It's a 10 gallon. This is a good hide. It's sturdy and not too heavy and is a decent size for smaller reptiles. I did inspect both when i got them. Since i saw about the edges being sharp i was worried. The edges on both didnt seem bad. My only problem now is needing a bigger one for some very spoiled turtles. ... show more

    • Not the best
Size: Large 1
Review Image by Kimberly
Sharp plastic edges you will need to sand down so be prepared to prep this before offering to your pet. Hid is very shallow so not much room al all. Should be considered a medium size. Not large at all.

My axolotl loves!! It’s very smooth, lightweight & very well made. I had to sand a few of the corners because they were sharp but was easy! I recommend.
