The PR Rock Shedding Cave in large gives your animal a confined retreat where moisture can be retained, helping to soften retained skin and reduce the risk of incomplete or stuck sheds. Sized at 16x12x11cm, it suits a range of medium to larger terrestrial species kept in vivariums and terrariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy a Dedicated Shedding Hide Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany keepers use a single hide for both security and shedding, but a purpose-built humid hide makes a meaningful difference. A confined space with a damp substrate inside creates the microclimate a reptile seeks out pre-shed — raising localised humidity around the animal without saturating the entire vivarium. This is particularly important for species kept in drier setups where ambient humidity is intentionally kept low.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign and Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cave is finished in a realistic rock texture that sits naturally within most vivarium décor setups. The large footprint and internal dimensions provide enough space for the animal to turn and manoeuvre while still maintaining the snug, enclosed feel that encourages use. The opening is sized to allow entry without being so large that humidity dissipates rapidly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace damp sphagnum moss or moist paper towel inside before a shed cycle begins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition on the warm side of the vivarium to encourage use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove and clean between sheds to prevent bacterial or mould buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for snakes, leopard geckos, skinks, and other terrestrial species that benefit from increased humidity during ecdysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA simple addition to any vivarium setup that takes the guesswork out of shedding — giving your reptile the conditions it needs to shed cleanly, and giving you fewer post-shed problems to manage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54147343941969,"sku":"DPH180","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/DPH180_1.jpg?v=1782594329","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/pr-rock-shedding-cave-lrg-16x12x11cm-dph180","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
