Not the right size for small lizards, geckos or juvenile reptiles that are better served by a smaller Exo Terra cave from the same range — a hide that's oversized relative to the animal doesn't give the same sense of security as one sized to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePairs with a basking lamp positioned over open ground rather than over the cave, so the shaded interior stays a genuine cool retreat, and with a substrate deep enough to let the cave sit flush and stable rather than rocking on top of the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered by the manufacturer's standard warranty against faults, in addition to the consumer guarantees you're entitled to under Australian Consumer Law.
