The Exo Terra Canopy Cave is a multi-level habitat that creates a suitable hiding and nesting spot for tree-dwelling reptiles and amphibians. Ground-level caves are often avoided by these animals, and without a proper hiding area, they can develop stress that affects their activity and appetite. The elevated and secure hide-out provided by the Canopy Cave enables stressed reptiles to retreat and regain their strength. When filled with Exo Terra’s Forest Moss, the Canopy Cave serves as an ideal moist nesting hide for tree-dwelling reptiles and amphibians to deposit their eggs. The hide features a convenient clip-system that allows for easy removal and checking of animals or their eggs without compromising their nesting behavior. A static-cling is included to cover the spyhole and darken the interior of the cave, providing more privacy to the residing animal and preventing stress. By detaching the upper 1/3 of the static cling, you can check on your animals or their eggs without disturbing them, and then restore the static cling to its original position.

Instructions for Use:
