Hi,

I have two Exo Terra large caves in my girl's viv but she is growing pretty fast and I don't know how much longer she is likely to fit through the entrance. As someone who likes to be prepared I wonder what you guys are using as hides if or when she does outgrow these. Cheers.

The extra large exo terras are what I use. My Royal is 4 foot/1.6kg and he fits comfortably into one.

Thanks for your help. She has plenty of room inside the hide I was just fearful that she would get too big to get through the hole. Perhaps I am seeing problems that will not exist.

You'd be surprised how long they last (I'm a little slow at upgrading hides, at the moment Sahara's one is just kind of worn like a hat, it levitates about 5cm off the ground when she's in it lol)

I have all sorts of caves and hides, and I switch them about a bit but his favourite is definitely just a big piece of bark he can squeeze under. Think he feels more secure when he can feel it above him.
