Exo Terra Wet Log Ceramic Hide

The Exo Terra Wet Log Ceramic Hide is a humidity-regulating shelter designed for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates that require a moist microclimate within their vivarium. Built from hygroscopic ceramic, it passively manages moisture levels without any additional equipment — making it a practical, species-appropriate addition to a wide range of terrarium setups.

How It Works

The ceramic material absorbs water from an integrated reservoir and releases moisture gradually, stabilising both humidity and temperature inside the hide. This natural regulation keeps the internal environment consistently moist without the keeper needing to intervene frequently. Maintaining the water reservoir topped up is all that's required to keep the microclimate functioning correctly.

Shedding and Respiratory Health

Adequate humidity at the point of contact is one of the most effective tools for supporting clean, complete sheds — particularly for species prone to retained skin. By maintaining appropriate air moisture levels within the hide, the Wet Log also helps reduce the risk of respiratory infections associated with environments that are too dry. Stress-related issues linked to inadequate hides and sleeping areas are similarly reduced when animals have reliable, secure retreats.

Egg-Laying and Breeding Use

Packed with moistened moss — such as forest moss or sphagnum moss — the Wet Log becomes a functional egg-laying site for many reptile, amphibian, and invertebrate species. The stable humidity inside makes it well-suited to incubating eggs in naturalistic conditions directly within the terrarium.

Terrarium Integration

• Eco-friendly ceramic construction with hygroscopic moisture regulation
• Integrated water reservoir maintains a consistent moist microclimate
• Reduces temperature and moisture fluctuations inside the hide
• Compatible with any terrarium substrate or layout
• Suitable for reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates
• Available in a range of sizes to suit different species and enclosure scales

Choose the size that matches your animal's body size and the scale of the enclosure — the hide should allow the animal to fully enter and turn around comfortably. The Wet Log works equally well as a primary hide in a dedicated humid zone or as a supplementary retreat within a more complex terrarium layout.
