Exo Terra Gecko Cave for Reptiles and Amphibians, Reptile Hideout, Medium, PT2865

Hello! I purchased the large and medium. Just to truly compare sizes. And the large is really the only one that could fit my geckos. I have a large male, and a smaller female. I thought the smaller female would be able to fit in the medium. But unfortunately that is not the case. I ended up purchasing Zoo Meds cave in a medium. And that one fit my female perfectly. Ive attached pictures of the sizes. And also a picture of the female one in the medium cave with out the top. She went into the cave, and then started circling inside without ever laying down. So I opened the top to let her out. I think it was too cramped for her to settle down.

There is nothing better than this. I use it for a leopard gecko. I bought the medium and it was perfect for my 20 gallon tank. Its beautiful and I love how the top comes off. I buy only hides that have an easily removable top so I can get to the leopard gecko anytime I need to. I put misted moss inside as a spa for the gecko to help with shedding. Update: I decided this works better as my warm/dry hide on the warm side of my tank, and to get the hide warmer, I decided not to use the bottom. It works perfectly for that. I also decided to use paper towels instead of moss. My leopard gecko loves this. NOTE: The texture is smooth, but my leopard gecko has no trouble climbing on top of it.

I got the medium size for my Leo who is about a year old. Although the entrance seems small, she has no issues getting in or out and is able to easily turn around inside. I did end up turning mine upside down so that I could fit more substrate with less mess. My leo loved it immediately and if she’s not out exploring or warming up she’s dozing away the day in here .

Im glad that I went with the medium, instead of the small because I feel like the small would have been too small for our gecko. I was looking for the perfect humid hide and this is it. The one thing that I dont like is how it was packaged so now there is 4 small holes on the bottom part and the top of the hide where they put the zip ties on. Other than that one issue i think this is a great buy. My gecko agrees as well

I keep a couple CCGs communally, and even with a ton of tank space and multiple hides, they all cram into this thing. It can fit probably 3 at a time. They love how dark and, well, cavey it is. Might buy another one.

I have a grouchy old gecko that doesn’t like much and I’ve never found a moist hide that he’d actually use but he seems to love this one. Being able to take the top off to mist and clean is awesome.

It is as expected, but the entrance is a little small for my leopard gecko. I think he will use it more when I can put the bottom on. (Im waiting for my warm hide to come in so I can get rid of the blue container and use this for the moist hide.)

My first complaint straight out of the package is that theyre actually holes drilled in this so that it can be held in the packaging. I feel like it kind of ruins the overall look. But its a small thing and once I got it in the tank and full of moist Moss, my gecko fell in love with it.

I really did want to like it but it keep growing mold in it

Ive been using this for a few weeks now as a moist hide and its the best. Its pretty big so if you have a 12 wide tank its going to take up a big chunk and I would advise you to get the medium. I honestly might get the medium myself to save some surface area of the tank. Nevertheless this is a great product made by a great company.
