Highlighting a rough, picturesque display, this Shale Scape is a must have for pet owners looking to add a beautiful and functional piece to their aquarium or terrarium. It’ll blend seamlessly with any environment, aquatic or dry. This piece is perfect for small reptiles, newts, salamanders, crayfish, axolotls, snakes, territorial fish, and more! Great for Climbing and Basking: This Shale Scape is not only decorative, but is also purposeful! If your pet reptile or amphibian loves to climb, this piece will be their next mountain to conquer, as they rest peacefully on the top basking platform, regulating their body temperature as they see fit. Natural Hiding Spots: With 4 entrance and exit holes, the Reptology Shale Scape Step Ledge & Cave Hideout offers several ways to climb, slither, and swim around! In addition to reptiles and amphibians, this piece provides a great swim through or hiding spot for axolotls, fish, and crustaceans, such as crayfish and shrimp. Most small and medium sized fish can pass through, allowing them to swim in and around it, which greatly helps reduce boredom and stress. Made of Safe and Durable Resin: Our Shale Scapes are inspected with your pet’s safety in mind, and are safe for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The resin has a sturdy base: you don’t need to worry about it floating around once you place it underwater. There may be rough or sharp surfaces on this product. Those assist reptiles with removing excess skin during their molting process. If you feel it is too sharp, you can easily smooth the area with a bit of sandpaper or a file.

Customers say

Customers find the reptile hideout to be of good quality with nice intricate detail and appreciate its value as a hiding spot with multiple exits. However, the size receives mixed feedback – while it’s great for adult leopard geckos, it’s too small for bearded dragons. The durability is also mixed, with some finding it sturdy while others report it breaking from water weight. Moreover, the sharp edges receive criticism, and opinions on value for money are divided between those who find it worth the price and those who consider it overpriced.

    My leopard gecko likes it!
    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
    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.

    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!

    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.

    Scuttles McGoo Approved!!!
    Scuttles McGoo absolutely loves her new digs. It makes the perfect hideout for our crayfish and looks so pretty.The packaging was super secure and it arrived in perfect condition. We didn’t have any issues with rough edges which I was concerned about after reading some of the reviews.

    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.

    There was no protection in the box and arrived in pieces because of it. The box also looked pre opened and re taped as though it was not actually shipped by amazon. The quality honestly lookes fine but fragile at the bottom.

    Fish love it, gives a place to hide for the fry and we added some real plants. Its just heavy enough, wont float away. Lol. looks great and delivery was fast. Great addition to our tank. Probably need 20 gallon tank minimum. But will fit in smaller. Check your measurements. We use 40 gallon. I recommend.
