Exo Terra Tortoise Shell

The Exo Terra Tortoise Shell is a hide shaped like a realistic tortoise shell that gives reptiles and amphibians a safe place to retreat and sleep. Animals without a proper hiding spot can become stressed, which often affects how active they are and how well they eat, so a good hide is an essential part of a natural terrarium. As well as shelter, a hide can offer a cooler or more humid pocket within the enclosure. Several entrances make it easy to get in and out, and the shape adds depth to the setup.

Key features of the Exo Terra Tortoise Shell

• Several entrances
• Secure resting place
• Suits any terrarium type
• Made from food-grade resin

Placing the hide

Reptiles feel most secure with a hide at each end of the enclosure, one on the warm side and one on the cool side, so they can rest without giving up their preferred temperature. With multiple entrances, this hide lets your animal slip in and out easily. Press the base slightly into the substrate so it cannot be tipped, and add moistened moss inside if your species needs a humid retreat for shedding. Because it is made from food-grade resin, it can be rinsed in warm water during routine cleaning.

Good to know

Check inside the hide during routine cleaning for leftover food or shed skin, as animals often spend long periods out of sight.
