Hides

Good hiding places and visual barriers are often underestimated but essential when setting up a natural terrarium. Without adequate cover, reptiles and amphibians can develop stress, which negatively affects their activity patterns and appetite. Decorative hides provide shade and increase the three-dimensional living space. They also help create a more humid microclimate, which is essential for the well-being of terrarium inhabitants. The naturalistic design of these hides fits seamlessly into desert or planted terrariums. The addition of moist moss can create an ideal egg-laying site for a variety of species. Hides provide a safe place for reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates to sleep and hide, aiding in thermoregulation, hydration and the natural shedding process, increasing their sense of security and reducing stress.
