The Repti-Cave Shelter is an exceptional, naturally-looking cave that can be used by your reptile as a hiding spot. It serves as a shedding and egg-laying chamber. Many reptiles and amphibians suffer from a lack of humidity, which can lead to shedding issues and respiratory problems. The Repti-Cave Shelter addresses this issue by creating a humid microclimate in the terrarium that resembles that found in nature, in caves, or under rocks and logs. By adding a suitable substrate to the container of the 3-in-1 cave, you can recreate an environment that is conducive to shedding and egg-laying. Establishing a favorable nesting site can help prevent the dangerous egg-binding that prevents the reptile from laying its eggs.
