What are some good store bought hides for leopard geckos?

[sachen]

I am looking for a new hide for my leopard gecko. I want one that he feels secure in and he will use and one that is produced by the more popular reptile brands like zoo med, exo terra and zilla so it is readily available. My gecko is an adult. I already have a moist and warm hide, I'm lookig for a cool hide.

Id get a reptile den if you wanna drop some $$$. They're made by exo-terra and they'll keep your gecko in the dark.
Be careful though, the entrance is pretty small.

My favorite caves:
- Exo Terra Reptile Cave Medium
- Zoo Med Repti-Shelter Medium
- Fluker's Castle Crib Large

For climbing and fun additions, the Penn Plax step ledges are fun decorations, but they aren't good as hides by themselves.

I have a reptishelter as a humid hide and personally think its better than the exo terra gecko caves. Kind of underrated tbh.

Agreed, I had an Exo Terra Gecko Cave and did not like it at all personally. Ended up tossing the bottom and using it as a spare hide, lol.

Not trying to hijack thread but have been looking at both zoo med and exo terra. I'm thinking my new male is going to be a decent size adult, will the medium zoo med be large enough? I like the higher entrance of the zoo med just gota decide on size. Thanks Russ

Should be fine unless he's some sort of super giant monster... I have a male ~ 90 g that just curls up in his.

The reptile den is by far my gecko's favorite hide. Be careful that their toes are not between the hide and the glass when putting the outside cover back on. The magnets are strong.

Boss has an Eco Terra Gecko Cave as a humid, a half log as a hot, and a Castle Crib as a cool/water bowl. She uses the gecko cave the most..... With a cut in half paper towel roll as a close second.
