FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Regular size hide?

The Komodo Wooden Reptile Hide - Regular is approximately 10cm wide and 13cm tall.

Can this hide be used in a desert terrarium?

Yes, the hide is treated to withstand high heat and moisture, making it suitable for both desert and rainforest environments.

How do I choose the right size hide for my reptile?

It is recommended to choose a hide that is slightly larger than your pet. This ensures they can comfortably enter, turn around, and feel fully concealed, which is important for reducing stress.

Is the wood treated with any chemicals?

The hide is made from 100% natural and renewable materials and is treated to withstand heat and moisture. Avoid using harsh chemicals for cleaning.

How often should I clean the hide?

Spot clean waste as needed. A more thorough wipe-down with a damp cloth can be done periodically, or during full enclosure cleaning. Ensure it's completely dry before returning it to the terrarium.

Can I use multiple hides in one enclosure?

Yes, providing multiple hiding spots can enhance your reptile's sense of security and offer choices for temperature regulation.

Troubleshooting

Hide feels unstable

Ensure the hide is placed on a level surface. If necessary, add substrate around the base to stabilize it.

Reptile not using the hide

Ensure the hide is appropriately sized for your reptile. Try repositioning it in a quieter area of the enclosure, away from high traffic or heat sources. Sometimes, it takes time for a reptile to feel secure enough to use a new hide.

Mold or mildew appears in humid environments

Increase ventilation in the enclosure. Spot clean affected areas immediately and ensure the hide is thoroughly dried. Consider a reptile-safe disinfectant for more persistent issues, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Place the Komodo Wooden Reptile Hide - Regular within your reptile's enclosure, ensuring it is stable and does not pose a tipping risk. It can be positioned on the substrate or secured to a substrate level. Ensure the entrance is accessible and the hide offers a snug fit for your reptile's size.
