Exo Terra Rock Outcrops
A rocky ledge that puts the basking spot exactly where it needs to be. The Exo Terra Rock Outcrop is a moulded, three-dimensional rock formation that raises a basking platform closer to an overhead heat lamp and UVB tube, with a shaded, multi-entrance hide underneath — two microclimates from one piece.
Key features
- Raised basking ledge — positions your animal closer to the heat and UVB source than floor level allows.
- Shaded hide beneath — multiple entrance holes give a secure, cooler retreat directly under the warm ledge.
- Stable and lightweight — moulded rock construction that won't stress the glass floor.
- Doubles as an egg-laying site — the hide cavity can be packed with moistened moss for species that lay in a humid pocket.
- Easy to clean — rinse and wipe during routine enclosure maintenance.

Which size do I need?
Match the outcrop to the enclosure footprint and the animal's basking-platform needs: Small suits nano and compact terrariums, Medium suits mid-size setups, and Large suits full-size enclosures where a bigger elevated platform is needed under the lamp.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
- Suitable for terrestrial and semi-arboreal reptiles and amphibians that bask and shelter — position under the heat/UVB source.
- Not suitable as the sole hide in enclosures housing multiple animals — add a second hide to reduce competition over the shaded space.
Care and maintenance
Rinse with water and wipe down during routine cleaning. Avoid harsh detergents, which can be trapped in the textured surface.
Goes well with
- Exo Terra Rock Background — continues the same rock texture on the back wall.
- Exo Terra heat and UVB lamps — the ledge is designed to sit under them.
Warranty and delivery

Common questions
Can I position it directly under a heat lamp?
Yes — that's its intended use. Check the lamp's minimum mounting distance against the ledge's height so the basking surface lands in the target temperature range.
Will my animal use the space underneath?
The multiple entrance holes are designed for exactly that — a shaded retreat below a warm platform.
Is it safe for humid, bioactive setups?
Yes — the moulded material tolerates ongoing humidity and can be rinsed clean.
