  • Smaller than it looks
Size: Medium
I got this for my bearded dragon. It's a good item and does it's job, but it's definitely on the small side. My beardie is a baby, so this fits him perfectly for now. Outside of size, the other issues is a technicality: I have a 4x2x2 enclosure, so this isn't tall enough to maximize an ideal basking temp. Outside of that, it's great because little buddy uses it daily. ... 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

  • My leopard geckos love this!
Size: Large 2
I got one of these for one of my leopard geckos. When I saw how much she enjoyed it, I got another one for my other Leopard gecko. She loves it too. They use the bottom as a hidey, the stairs to climb, and the little platform at the top for basking. It is also a very beautiful piece in their tanks. I just got a new gecko and will be buying one of these for him as well. ... show more

  • 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

  • Arrived damaged....
Size: Extra Large
Item packaged very well but arrived broken....like shipped out damaged. I couldn't find broken piece in box. Take time to look product over before sending out. Very disappointed. It was so expensive! It looks nice but not as solid as other hides I have purchased.

  • Fun Habitat
Size: Extra Large
Purchased for our Syrian Hamster who we lost before she had a chance to enjoy this. But! We have found it is an extremely thought out design that would be awesome for any reptile, lizard, or small animal. This is quite large so please check the measurements before purchasing or you could be caught off guard. ... show more
