Exo Terra Dinosaur Eggs Fossil Hide - For Reptile & Amphibian

The Exo Terra Dinosaur Eggs Fossil Hide Out is a realistic fossil egg cluster that works as both a hide and a water dish — two of the things every terrarium needs, in one piece of decor.

Why the Combination Is Useful

Floor space is finite, particularly in a small enclosure, and a hide and a water dish usually take up two separate footprints. Combining them frees up room — and puts water right where a shy animal already feels safe, which matters more than it sounds. A nervous reptile that has to cross open ground to drink will often drink less than it should.

The Humid Hide, and Why It Matters

The water and the enclosed space together create a humid microclimate, which is exactly what a reptile needs when it sheds.

An animal that sheds in conditions that are too dry retains patches of old skin. Retained shed around toes and tail tips tightens as it dries, cuts off circulation and can cost the animal digits — one of the most common avoidable injuries in captive reptiles. A humid retreat prevents it.

Key Features

• Natural fossil look that integrates into any terrarium
• Multiple entrances for easy access
• Doubles as a water dish
• Creates a humid microclimate, supporting natural shedding
• Provides a secure place to hide and sleep, reducing stress
• Supports thermoregulation and hydration

Care

• Change the water daily and scrub the dish. Reptiles frequently defecate in standing water, and a dish left unchanged becomes a bacterial culture.
• Rinse in warm water only. Avoid detergents — residues are absorbed through amphibian skin and are harmful.
• Use dechlorinated water for amphibians.
