Full details
The Exo Terra Primate Skull by Hagen is designed for reptile enthusiasts who want to enhance their terrarium with a functional, realistic centerpiece that serves as both a secure retreat and an aesthetic focal point. It is an ideal addition for snakes and lizards of various sizes, providing multiple entry points that encourage natural hiding behaviors; however, users should note that its fixed resin design means it does not offer adjustable sizing for rapidly growing specimens.

FAQs
Can I use this in an aquatic setup?
Yes, the resin material is moisture-resistant and safe for use in aquatic environments.
Is the material safe for my reptile?
Yes, the skull is made from non-toxic, durable resin that is perfectly safe for reptiles and amphibians.
How do I ensure it remains clean?
Regularly wipe it down with a damp cloth and perform a deeper clean with a reptile-safe disinfectant during your scheduled tank maintenance.
Will this fit a large ball python?
While the skull is spacious, please check the specific dimensions of your skull model against the size of your snake to ensure it can comfortably pass through the openings.
Does the skull have a bottom?
The skull is designed as a 'hollow' hide that sits directly on the substrate, allowing the reptile to burrow or sit directly on the floor of the enclosure while being covered.
Troubleshooting
The skull is shifting or moving when my reptile enters.
Clear away any loose substrate underneath the base to ensure it sits flush against the bottom glass or tank floor.
The hide looks dirty or has a film on it.
Remove the item and clean it with warm water; if the film is stubborn, use a soft-bristled brush and a mild, non-toxic reptile detergent.
