Quick Product Snapshot

Material and Design Breakdown

The Galapagos Ceramic Egg Hide is made from heavyweight ceramic, providing a solid, stable structure that stays in place within the terrarium. The non-porous ceramic surface does not absorb moisture, bacteria, or fungal spores, making it significantly more hygienic than porous stone, resin, or plastic alternatives. The realistic egg texture and shape give it a naturalistic appearance that integrates naturally into terrarium decor. The enclosed interior creates a dark, sheltered environment that animals instinctively seek for security and stress relief. The open base allows it to be filled with damp moss for use as a humidity hide when elevated moisture is needed.

Setup and Compatibility Guidance

Position the hide in a suitable area of the terrarium based on your animal's thermoregulation and behavioral needs. For a humidity hide, fill the interior with damp sphagnum moss and place on the warm side of the enclosure to encourage use during shedding. The medium size at 6 in x 5 in is well-suited for a range of reptile and amphibian species. Compatible with reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

Care and Maintenance

Clean the hide regularly with warm water. The non-porous ceramic surface is easy to wipe clean and does not retain odors or residue. If used as a humidity hide, replace the moss regularly to maintain freshness and prevent mold build-up. Inspect periodically for chips or cracks and replace if damaged.
