Natural Wooden Hide for Reptiles – Medium 15cm

A solid wooden hide designed to give reptiles and amphibians a secure retreat within the vivarium or terrarium. At 15cm, the medium size suits a broad range of commonly kept species, providing the enclosed, darkened space that promotes natural sheltering behaviour and reduces stress in captive animals.

Natural Materials, Natural Behaviour

Constructed from wood with a natural finish, this hide blends cleanly into bioactive, naturalistic, and traditional vivarium setups alike. The organic aesthetic avoids the artificial look of plastic hides while offering the thermal mass that helps create a stable microclimate inside the shelter.

Suitable Species and Setup

The medium 15cm footprint works well for juvenile to mid-sized snakes, leopard geckos, crested geckos, skinks, and similar-sized reptiles. Position on the cool or warm side of the enclosure depending on the species' thermoregulation requirements — a hide available at both ends of a temperature gradient gives the animal genuine choice.

Keeper Considerations

• Wooden construction — spot clean regularly and replace if the hide becomes saturated in high-humidity builds
• Natural finish integrates well with cork bark, wood chip, and soil-based substrates
• Medium size (15cm) — measure your animal's mid-body girth before purchasing to ensure a snug but accessible fit
• Suitable for terrariums and vivariums housing terrestrial and semi-arboreal species

A well-placed hide is one of the most effective welfare additions you can make to any reptile enclosure. This wooden option keeps things simple, functional, and visually in keeping with a naturalistic setup.
