Take a Closer Look at the Medium Step Ledge & Cave Hideout – Model #: REP182
Natural Hiding Spots:
With 4 entrance and exit holes, the Reptology Shale Scape Step Ledge & Cave Hideout offers several ways to climb, slither, and swim around! Most small sized fish can pass through, allowing them to swim in and around it, which greatly helps reduce boredom and stress.
Made of Safe and Durable Resin:
Our Shale Scapes are inspected with your pet’s safety in mind, and are safe for freshwater and saltwater aquariums. The resin has a sturdy base: you don’t need to worry about it floating around once you place it underwater. There may be rough or sharp surfaces on this product. Those assist reptiles with removing excess skin during their molting process. If you feel it is too sharp, you can easily smooth the area with a bit of sandpaper or a file.

Smaller than it looks
I got this for my bearded dragon. It’s a good item and does it’s job, but it’s definitely on the small side. My beardie is a baby, so this fits him perfectly for now. Outside of size, the other issues is a technicality: I have a 4x2x2 enclosure, so this isn’t tall enough to maximize an ideal basking temp. Outside of that, it’s great because little buddy uses it daily.

Crayfish love this thing
If you have a crayfish, it will thank you! It loves climbing up the tower and it really well made. It also gives schooling fish a nice hideout.

Itâs ok.
Wouldâve given 5stars but mine came broken. I guess I can glue it together I donât feel like going through the hassle of sending it back and waiting ugh⦠shipping was fast though. Just rather them had taken their time so it came all in one piece.

Not for fish
Turtles would probably LOVE this and it looks awesome. However, I bought it for glow fish and it works so well as a hiding place that it gets claimed by a single fish, who then loves the solitude and gets scared of going out and eventually dies. Had it happen to one, took it out, but it was too late because the fish was so malnourished and unhealthy (the rest were healthy). Put it back in, and had to take it out because within days one of my shy ones had permanently parked herself in there, often even during feeding time. Fortunately I took it out right away and the fish immediately went back to itself.

My leopard geckos love this!
I got one of these for one of my leopard geckos. When I saw how much she enjoyed it, I got another one for my other Leopard gecko. She loves it too. They use the bottom as a hidey, the stairs to climb, and the little platform at the top for basking. It is also a very beautiful piece in their tanks. I just got a new gecko and will be buying one of these for him as well.

Fun Habitat
Purchased for our Syrian Hamster who we lost before she had a chance to enjoy this. But! We have found it is an extremely thought out design that would be awesome for any reptile, lizard, or small animal. This is quite large so please check the measurements before purchasing or you could be caught off guard.

There was no protection in the box and arrived in pieces because of it. The box also looked pre opened and re taped as though it was not actually shipped by amazon. The quality honestly lookes fine but fragile at the bottom.

I can now see my little leopard gecko when she hides under this. Ziggy also loves to sit on top of this at nighttime and survey her vivarium before she goes off hunting for food.
Jessica Rees –
This would be a good size for a leopard gecko but would be on the small size for a beardy. Good sturdy product
Ruby –
