  • My leopard gecko likes it!
Size: Small
It's a little on the small side but it's a great addition to my leopard gecko tank! I love how it can function as a basking platform and a little hideaway. She seems to like it so it gets 5 stars from me!

  • 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
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

  • My frogs love it, and I have no complaints.
My African clawed frogs love this, one of them is always peeking out of his little cave. I've had this for several months, and have had no issues with injuries or paint peeling or anything like that. It's a decent size (my frogs are not fully grown yet), easy to clean, and hard to break.

  • Great Addition to Fish Tank
Purchased this for a new 10 gallon fish tank. Looks great.

  • It’s okay, small size though
It was nice. But it broke very easily. Slipped out of heads while cleaning and broke. Wished it was a little more durable for the price. It is easy to clean and it is a pretty good weight. Smaller than what I thought but was okay. I don’t have the dragons anymore so i haven’t tried to get another piece. ... show more
