  • Beautiful but must sand edges
Size: Large 1
This is even better than I was hoping and will be beautiful in my aquarium. Solid quality. However, I can confirm all the other reviews that warn about sharp edges if you’re using it for a fish tank, especially with delicate bettas. I just used a few of those little disposable nail files they use for nail salons, and it was definitely not a deal breaker. 45 minutes maybe? Would’ve been less if I had used the dremmel. Didn’t compromise appearance at all! Seems like it’s just a concern with pretty much anything not specific to bettas. ... show more

  • Bearded Dragon Loves It
Size: Medium
I got the medium size for my 2 month old bearded dragon. Fits perfectly in a 10 gallon tank. He absolutely loves it (at least I think he does). He loves to cozy inside during night time and bask on the rocks during the day. The only thing I wish was that the inside of it was more smooth. I worry my bearded dragon will get scratched by the pointed edges at the bottom so I am currently trying to sand it down a bit. Another thing is to be careful when handling it. I bought another one because I dropped it not very high off the ground and it broke in half. Besides that it is an amazing product. Definitely will get more he gets bigger! ... show more

  • Large 1 - great!
Size: Large 1
I bought this for my turtle tank. It's 50 gallons for reference. I regret not having bought the extra large one, because it doesn't sit high enough for my turtle to bask. It looks great under water & I love that there's several different openings for him to hide, since he's a private type of guy. I plan to get some guppies in this tank eventually & I'm sure that both my red ear slider (Rick) & his future tank mates will enjoy this area for privacy & sleep. I put this on top of several river rocks to give it more height. ... show more

  • Beware of SHARP surface!!
Size: Large 1
Decent size for the price, looks nice, BUT if you are using for soft skinned animals, you may want to spend some time with some sandpaper or a dremel. I would gladly give it five stars, but 1st thing I noticed was that it has LOTS of Very sharp spots everywhere on it. I get that these are mass produced in molds, but they will cut your pets to shreds if you do not prepare them properly before using them. I have two axolotls and it seems to be a very good addition to the tank, but I definitely spent quite a bit of time with a Dremel and a sanding bit making sure I got every sharp edge and spike on it dulled down. ... show more

  • Arrived broken!!!
Size: Extra Large
I love the product, I purchased an extra large for my 55 gallon tank and hoped beyond hope that it would arrive intact. I purchased resin basking decor for my red eared sliders before from a different company and it arrived broken 3 times! My husband glued on back together and I thought never again. The larger they get,Penn Plax products are not cheap! I waited just praying it would be fine, it was delivered. I heard something sliding as I was about to open the box, and one side of the base was broken off. I was disappointed looking at how one small piece of brown paper was packed into the box that should’ve had bubble wrap! I didn’t feel like going through another series of receiving and returning, so I just glued it myself. I shouldn’t have to do that for a $62 aquatic decoration! It would’ve received 5 stars if not for that. ... show more

  • Large enough for full grown Beardie
Size: Large 1
Big enough for my full grown beardie to use as a hide, lounge on, prop against and light enough for him to “rearrange” when the mood strikes.

  • Great climbing device
Size: Medium
This thing is heavy and really well made. We like to swap out climbing toys for the crabs so they don't get tired of their environment. They enjoy going under it than actually walking over it. Our crabs are crazy and they like to crawl on things the hardest way possible (like on the sides) rather than actually use steps. They are preparing for Ninja Warrior Crab Edition. ... show more
