Product Information
Full details
The Exo Terra Wet Log is designed for reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate keepers who want to provide a secure, climate-controlled habitat for their pets. This hide serves as an essential sanctuary that helps reduce stress while supporting natural behaviors like shedding and hydration through its innovative moisture-regulating ceramic material. While it is highly effective at maintaining a healthy micro-climate, users must remember to keep the water reservoir filled regularly to ensure the hide functions correctly.

FAQs
How often should I refill the water reservoir?
Check the reservoir daily. Depending on your terrarium's ambient humidity and temperature, you may need to refill it every 24 to 48 hours.
Can I use this for my larger reptile?
This is the small model (7cm x 9cm x 16cm). We recommend checking the medium or large Exo Terra Wet Log variants if your pet is too large to fit comfortably inside.
Is it safe to use with a heat mat?
The log can be placed near heat sources, but direct contact with high-temperature heat mats underneath the ceramic may accelerate water evaporation and affect the log's cooling properties.
How do I clean mineral buildup from the ceramic?
Use a mild vinegar solution and water, then scrub gently with a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water until no scent of vinegar remains.
Does the hide help with stuck shed?
Yes, by providing a localized area of higher humidity, the log helps soften the skin, which makes it much easier for reptiles to shed naturally.
Troubleshooting
The log does not seem to hold humidity.
Ensure the water reservoir is full and that the ceramic is not completely clogged with substrate or mineral deposits.
Water reservoir is drying out too quickly.
Move the hide away from direct heat sources or high-ventilation areas within the tank.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your Wet Log, simply place it on a level surface within the terrarium. Before the first use, rinse the ceramic under lukewarm water to remove any dust. Fill the top reservoir with dechlorinated water; the ceramic will begin to darken as it absorbs the moisture. For maintenance, check the reservoir daily to ensure it has not run dry. If the hide becomes soiled, use a soft brush and warm water to clean it; avoid harsh chemical detergents, as these can be absorbed by the ceramic and potentially harm your animal. Inspect the log periodically for any cracks or significant mineral buildup from hard water.
