FAQs
What material is the TRIXIE Reptile Bathing Pool made from?
The bathing pool is made from durable polyester resin.
What are the dimensions of this bathing pool?
The dimensions are 35 cm in length, 9 cm in height, and 34 cm in width.
Is this bathing pool suitable for desert reptiles?
This pool is best suited for reptiles from humid environments like rainforests. Desert reptiles typically require different hydration methods and may not benefit from a large water pool.
How often should I clean the bathing pool?
It is recommended to change the water daily or as needed and clean the pool thoroughly with reptile-safe cleaners regularly to maintain hygiene.
Can I use regular tap water in the pool?
It is best to use dechlorinated water. Tap water can contain chemicals harmful to reptiles. You can use a reptile-specific water conditioner.
Will this pool fit in any terrarium?
The pool's dimensions are 35x9x34 cm. Ensure your terrarium has adequate space to accommodate these measurements comfortably.
Is it safe for amphibians as well as reptiles?
Yes, the polyester resin is generally safe for both reptiles and amphibians that require a water source for soaking and hydration.
Troubleshooting
Pool seems too small for my reptile.
Consider purchasing a larger bathing pool or ensuring your reptile can comfortably access and submerge in the current one. This model is best suited for smaller to medium-sized reptiles.
Algae is growing quickly in the pool.
Increase the frequency of water changes and cleaning. Ensure the pool is not placed in direct sunlight or under intense heat sources that promote algae growth. Use a reptile-safe algae remover if necessary.
The pool material feels rough or has sharp edges.
Inspect the pool for any manufacturing defects. If sharp edges are present, they may need to be gently smoothed with fine-grit sandpaper. Ensure the material is appropriate for your reptile's skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the TRIXIE Reptile Bathing Pool in the desired location within your reptile's vivarium. Ensure the substrate around it is stable. Fill with fresh, dechlorinated water suitable for your specific reptile species. Avoid placing it directly under a heat lamp, as this can cause rapid water evaporation or overheating.
Compatibility: This bathing pool is ideal for reptiles and amphibians that inhabit humid environments or require regular access to water, such as various geckos, tree frogs, and smaller snakes. Always verify that the dimensions are appropriate for your specific pet.
Care: Clean the pool regularly to prevent the buildup of algae and bacteria. Empty the water daily or as needed. Wash the pool with warm water and a reptile-safe cleaner or mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue before refilling. For deeper cleaning, a mild bleach solution (1:10 bleach to water) can be used, followed by extensive rinsing and air drying.
