Exo Terra Snake Medium

• Realistic rock finish – blends into naturalistic desert and tropical terrarium setups.
• Removable lid – lifts off for cleaning and for checking on or reaching the animal without dismantling the whole enclosure.
• Fully enclosed design – gives a snug, secure hide rather than an open cave, which suits species that like full-body contact while hiding.
• Doubles as a humid hide – dampen the included moss inside to lift local humidity for shedding or nesting.
• Stable footprint – sits low and isn't easily tipped by a moving animal.

Exo Terra doesn't publish a material composition or weight for this piece on its specification pages, so we haven't stated either.

The cave and a small quantity of natural moss, which can be dampened to create a moist hide or nesting box inside.

At 21.8 × 13 × 9 cm this is a mid-sized hide – check your enclosure's floor area and door clearance before ordering, especially in smaller glass terrariums. Exo Terra also makes this cave in Small and Large, so if your snake or lizard needs more room to fully coil inside, size up.

Suited to snakes and similarly sized lizards that want a fully enclosed retreat, in desert and tropical terrarium setups alike. Not the right choice if you want an open-fronted hide for quick visual checks without lifting the lid – for that, look at Exo Terra's open cave and hollow log styles instead.

Lift the lid off to clean or to dampen the moss inside. Rinse before first use. Wipe down as part of your normal enclosure cleaning routine.

• A humidity or temperature gauge placed near the hide, to confirm the microclimate it's creating.
• A second hide at the cool end of the enclosure, so your animal isn't forced to choose between hiding and thermoregulating.
• Extra sphagnum moss, to top up the moisture inside between full cleans.

What size reptile does this suit?

Medium is sized for snakes and similarly proportioned lizards. Exo Terra also makes a Small and a Large in the same style if this one is too tight or too roomy.

Does it come with anything else?

Yes – a small amount of natural moss is included, which you can dampen inside the cave for a humid hide.

What is it made from?

Exo Terra doesn't publish the material for this piece on its specification pages, so we haven't guessed at one here.

Can I use it in a bioactive setup?

Exo Terra doesn't state bioactive compatibility for this specific cave, so treat it as a standard hide rather than assuming it suits a fully bioactive build until you've checked the specifics with us.
