Exo Terra Rock Background - 12 x 12 inch suit EGT01
Turn a bare glass wall into a rock face your animal can use. The Exo Terra Rock Background (30 × 30 cm / 12" × 12") is a moulded polystyrene backdrop for the Exo Terra EGT01 terrarium, hiding cords and equipment behind a textured rock surface while adding climbing texture and a sense of security.
Key features
- Deep rock texture — moulded ridges create genuine climbing grip, not just a printed pattern.
- Black, non-toxic polystyrene — lightweight, and any accidental scratches or gouges are far less visible than on a white or grey background.
- Thermal insulation — the panel adds a layer of insulation to the back wall, helping the terrarium hold heat.
- Works in humid or arid setups — suited to both tropical and desert terrarium builds.
- Trims to size — cuts down with scissors or a blade if you need a custom fit.
Will it fit my terrarium?
This background is sized for the Exo Terra EGT01 terrarium (30 × 30 × 30 cm). Check your terrarium's model before ordering — Exo Terra sells this background across several sizes to fit its full terrarium range.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for: the Exo Terra EGT01 terrarium, or any similarly sized enclosure you're happy to trim it to fit.
- Not suitable for: larger Exo Terra terrariums without trimming — Exo Terra makes this background in several sizes, so check the fit before you buy rather than cutting a panel down from a much bigger size.
Goes well with
Pairs with an Exo Terra Rock Outcrop or Sand Mat substrate for a complete desert or rock-scape build, and with your terrarium's heat and UVB fixtures — the background's insulation helps the enclosure hold the basking-side warmth those fixtures create.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Exo Terra's manufacturer warranty against faults, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships as standard parcel freight.
Common questions
Will this fit my EGT01 terrarium exactly?
Yes — it's sized specifically for the 30 × 30 × 30 cm EGT01. If you have a different Exo Terra model, check our other background sizes rather than trimming this one down.
Can I cut it to fit around equipment?
Yes. The polystyrene panel trims easily with scissors or a craft knife, so you can cut around heat cords, cables and fixtures as you fit it.
Is it safe if my reptile scratches it?
The material is non-toxic, and because it's black through, minor scratches and gouges from claws don't show up as a bright mark the way they would on a lighter-coloured background.
Does it help retain heat?
Yes — Exo Terra states it adds thermal insulation to the back wall of the terrarium, which helps the enclosure hold warmth from your heat source.
