Who has these?

[suz830]

Do any of y'all have one of these?

I got the medium sized one for my gecko and she never comes out except at night. I kinda wish I hadn't gotten it for her because I never see her. But I guess it makes her happy...

Do you think she could get too big to get in? She's 3mo now
I wasn't sure if I should have gotten the medium or large... but it seems the hole to get in is about the same size on the large..

By the way that is not my gecko that is the stock image off the internet.

 

[robin]

is it a true stock photo or one taken from a google search?

 

[project1]

yea i have one too and i have the same problem which is why i cant wait to finish their new cages i put it on top of the uth and he seems to like it alot

 

[emmagecko]

I was gonna get one but my mom thought it was too small

 

[SassyAbi]

I dont have one but i have a 3/4 coconut that mine rarely leaves. That cave does look like a squeeze though

I have one that came with my little guy. Not sure on the size, but I think it is a large one. He loves it and stays in it constantly too. He is 5-6 months old and has plenty of room right now.

I have one but don't know what size it is. I have a very hermit-like gecko who spends all her time in it, but she has spent all her time in other hideouts, so this is no different. She's 74 grams, fits fine and has even had company in there.

Yeah I read one review on them about two geckos not fitting well into one... I have the medium size... I would definitely not get the small...

she loves it though... so much I think she forgets she might want to eat, I had to get her out to feed her... she usually comes out around 7 so when it was 8 and I still didn't see her I escorted her out.

I have mine on the cool side... do y'all think I should put it on the warm side if that is where she is spending all her time?

 

[fikken]

yeah i have one of those and like the repticave they never come out of the thing. i kind of miss watching my female wander around but i guess she likes it a lot so w/e. i like the mediums (cheaper) but the large are the best especially with multiple adults. I have the one you posted on the cool side and i have repti cave and another moist hide on the other. depends on your hide spacing i guess.

 

[suz830]

Yeah I think it is fine the way I have it set up... She stays in there during the day when the lights are on... and she then goes into her warm cave all night... About the price, I think the medium and the large where the same price at least on lllreptile.com where I bought mine.
I got the medium because I only have a 10 gal and I thought the large would be too big.

Just watch the magnets on it. I have one and have smashed my fingers in it a time or two. Nice little pinch.

I have the large one in a 20 gallon long tank and she absolutely loves it. Mine is in between the hot and cool sides its normally around 80 degrees in there. I would guess around 97% of the time she is in it. Rest of the time shes eating, pooping, or in the warm hide.

i have a medium one,
my male became so attached he wouldnt come out and eat for me.
so its now in the box of trade-out hides to keep things interesting. he might get it back...someday

Wow, you guys have some reclusive geckos! Both of my geckos have one in their tanks. Mandarin is quite big at 73g but still manages to squeeze into her medium sized one. She's not big enough to get stuck though and afterall they seem to like squeezing themselves into tight spaces. Tiamat loves hers too but I've never had a problem with them staying too long in them. Maybe Tiamat last year, when she was brumating but now she's only in there for a few hours or so. She likes to be fed in it for some reason. lol Lazy geckos...Mandarin enjoys being fed in her repti-cave. God, I spoil them so much!

I am actually thinking about taking it out.... She used to come out around 7 or 8 to eat now she doesn't... I would hate to take her most expensive and favorite hide away from her

When she did come out I could put a worm in front of her and she would eat it now she doesn't, I am starting to get worried I haven't SEEN her eat in almost a week. I leave worms in there over night in a bowl... it seems some were missing when I got home today, but sometimes they escape the bowl and I can't find them anywhere else in the enclosure so I am not sure if she is eating them or if they got lost...

It is 9:30 and she still hasn't even poked her head out...

When should I really get worried about not seeing her eat... she is 3 mo old
