{"product_id":"et-reptile-hiding-cave-xx-large-pt2934","title":"Exo Terra Reptile Hiding Cave XX Large – PT2934","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe ET Reptile Hiding Cave XX Large is a resin hide designed for larger reptiles and amphibians that need a genuinely secure retreat within their vivarium. A well-placed hide is not decorative afterthought — it is a functional necessity, and this extra-extra-large format gives bigger species the covered space they need to thermoregulate, rest, and feel secure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy a Hide Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReptiles and amphibians without access to a proper hiding area are prone to chronic stress, which directly affects their feeding response and general activity levels. Providing a dedicated retreat removes that pressure entirely, allowing animals to behave naturally and confidently within their setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRealistic Pebble Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cave features a natural pebble-effect finish that sits convincingly within a bioactive or naturalistic terrarium. The resin construction holds its appearance over time and is straightforward to spot-clean or remove for full sanitisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMicroclimate Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond simply offering cover, the enclosed structure creates a localised microclimate inside the hide — slightly cooler and more humid than the surrounding terrarium environment. This is particularly useful for species that seek out sheltered, damper conditions for resting or shedding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eXX Large Format\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSized specifically for larger reptiles that standard or large hides simply cannot accommodate comfortably. The enlarged interior volume means the animal can fully enter and turn around without the hide feeling restrictive, which is essential for the hide to serve its purpose properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA straightforward, well-made addition to any larger reptile or amphibian setup — one that addresses a genuine husbandry need rather than just filling space in the vivarium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54147221946705,"sku":"DHC205","price":19.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/DHC205_1.jpg?v=1782593352","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/et-reptile-hiding-cave-xx-large-pt2934","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
