A half-log hide made from ceramic rather than timber — which is the detail worth knowing before you buy. Ceramic is inert: it will not mould, will not rot, will not absorb waste, and it can be properly sterilised in a way no wooden hide can. It is also fully submersible, so it works as an underwater cave for aquatic turtles and newts as well as a dry-land hide for reptiles.
Benefits
- Ceramic, not timber — inert, non-absorbent, and it can be sterilised.
- Will not mould or rot — the usual failure mode of wooden hides in humid enclosures.
- Fully submersible — usable underwater or on dry land.
- Four sizes — small through extra large.
Choosing a size
A hide should be snug. Reptiles feel secure with their body in contact with the walls, so err towards the size the animal only just fits into rather than one it can turn around in.
For a burrowing species, look at Excavator Clay instead. More in Reptile Habitat Accessories.
