Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What reptiles and invertebrates is this egg cave hideout suitable for?
A: This egg cave terrarium hideout is designed for small to medium-sized reptiles and invertebrates, including geckos (crested, leopard, day geckos), tree frogs, tarantulas, and pet spiders. Choose the size — S, M, or L — based on your pet's body size for the best fit.
Q: Is PETG plastic safe for reptiles and amphibians?
A: Yes. PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a non-toxic, BPA-free plastic with a smooth, non-porous surface. It contains no high-concern chemicals and is safe for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. The smooth interior also prevents any abrasion to delicate skin.
Q: How do the suction cups attach, and will they hold securely?
A: The suction cups are designed for firm, reliable adhesion to smooth glass terrarium walls — no drilling or tools needed. Simply clean the glass surface, press the suction cup firmly, and hold for a few seconds. We recommend checking the suction periodically and reattaching if the enclosure experiences temperature fluctuations.
Q: How do I clean the egg cave hideout?
A: The smooth PETG surface is easy to clean. Remove from the tank, rinse with warm water, and gently scrub with a soft brush if needed. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may leave residue. Allow to dry fully before returning to the terrarium.
Q: Can this hideout be used in a bioactive or humid terrarium setup?
A: Absolutely. PETG plastic is moisture-resistant and will not warp, swell, or degrade in humid terrarium environments, making it an excellent choice for tropical gecko and tree frog enclosures with higher humidity levels.
