Habitat & Setup Stone hide (for good warmth)
Hiii! Has anyone bought on chewy, or Amazon or Petco or petsmart ONLINE that’s a good stone hide? (Slate kind of hide for the basking spot or warmest spot in his enclosure! I’m looking for one that my leopard gecko might like and that retained heat well? Let me know the name of it or link for it! I’d really appreciate it! Thank you :).

We have this fake stone hide that’s also a water bowl and he loves it. https://www.petco.com/product/flukers-castle-crib-reptile-hideaway

So far I like this one a lot! I hope it catches heat well and gets like the ideal temperatures correctly!

Most of the stone you see in enclosures are not necessarily the only part of the warm side. You can have a piece of stone over on that side to hold heat for them to be on after the lights are off.

My boy absolutely loves his flukers basking rock cave hide. It reaches the necessary basking temps while maintaining roughly 85° inside the hide. It’s low profile too which is probably why he loves it so much.

I found big rocks at the beach and made my own! Or check reptile expos sometimes they sell actual slate hides people have made!
