  • This has ruined my turtles.... in a good way
Size: Large 1
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

  • Sharp edges could catch fish fins
Size: Medium
There are sharp edges in the inside and outside that absolutely must be sanded down before putting in an aquarium with any sort of long finned fish. I spent a good hour sanding it until it was safe enough for my betta. Just a heads up for anyone else who plans to use this for their betta. Besides that, he loves his new hiding place! ... show more

  • Dangerous, sharp edges
Size: Medium
This aquarium rock looks great—3 openings for places to hide—but the inside of the structure has lots of sharp edges and raised points to the mold making it not functional for its intended purpose. It’s not safe for any creature to inhabit. Wanted to love it but have to send it back.
