There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the reptile in question and its individual needs. Some reptiles do well with heat rocks, while others do not. It is always best to consult with a reptile veterinarian or experienced reptile keeper to determine if a heat rock is the best option for your reptile.
Most amphibians live in water at some point in their lives. Many amphibians start their lives as tadpoles living in water and then transform into adults that live on land. Some amphibians, like the axolotl, never transform and live their whole lives in water.
Baking rocks for reptiles is a simple process that can be done at home with a few supplies. First, gather the rocks that you want to bake and wash them thoroughly. Next, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the oven is preheated, place the rocks on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the rocks to cool completely before handling. Once cooled, your rocks are now ready to be used in your reptile’s enclosure!
To make a fake rock for a reptile enclosure, you will need: -A large container or bucket -Sand -Peat moss -Coconut fiber -A drill -A saw -A hot glue gun 1. Begin by mixing together sand, peat moss, and coconut fiber in your container. The ratio of these ingredients will depend on the size and shape of your fake rock. 2. Once you have the desired consistency, use your hot glue gun to attach the mixture to the inside of your bucket.

Although it was obvious that my gecko was eating (there was waste), I never noticed a dent in the food inside the dish when I had the other Pangea ledge (transparent acrylic). He had fresh food put in this dish last night, but when I woke up this morning, there was a sizable dent in the food (I had to rig it a little because he's still a little boy and the 1.5 oz cups are too big for him). This indicates to me that he feels much more at ease perched on this ledge, which will ultimately improve his health.In case anyone needs it, I turned the 0. 5 oz cup that was included with the clear acrylic ledge upside down and put it inside the larger 1.5 oz cup that was also included with this ledge to accommodate a smaller gecko. Then I turned the 0.5 ounce cup upside down and hot glued a milk top to the bottom. He won't have to dunk his head too far into the dish thanks to its ideal height.Knowing that this alone made such a difference in his eating made the cost of this well worth it. Additionally, it isn't just a flat black, so it doesn't seem as odd as I had feared. It contains a few grey flecks. Not at all horrible looking.

I decided to submit my own review after reading another one that claimed the user had trouble making the product stick. As of yet, I have not had any problems with this mushroom ledge. The mushroom ledge's suction cup is a little peculiar (I can't say for the other options), but I just sprayed it with water, and there's a small lever you pull to make it attach to the glass, and I haven't had any problems with it dropping since I put it in the cage. I've moved it around a few times, and it works wonderfully as long as you figure out the suction cup. In addition, compared to typical acrylic feeding ledges, this mushroom ledge has a very attractive appearance. The dish is actually constructed of a decent, sturdy material, but I have a problem with how huge it is. Nevertheless, I can just put my regular feeding cups, which are plastic, in there because the dish is deep enough so that they can't knock them out or over. Very pleased with this ledge; it is a reasonable size, has a texture that makes it simple for my gargoyle gecko to grasp, and it is attractive.

For a turtle aquarium, these are fantastic. Considering that they are bigger, your turtle won't end up eating any of them. They do need to be washed when they first arrive because they appear to be covered in paper dust.The rocks have lovely colors with a natural appearance and lots of different tones. For my 20 gallon aquarium, I already purchased one bag, and while it works, I'm going to get a second one as the first one only covered a fraction of the bottom of the tank. Since all of the rocks are entirely smooth, your turtle cannot sustain any injuries on them. They perform admirably!

They are smooth and clean, I can say that (very little sediment or dust in the bag). I anticipated gray pea gravel based on the Amazon image. All of the stones I received were in the brown color family, and they were much larger than I had anticipated, as others have noted. If the stones shown are the same size as those I received, the turtle in the bag's image must be enormous. Ordered on a Friday, chose Prime (2-day delivery), and received them on a Saturday through the USPS. I'm not sure if, out of respect for everyone's safety, I would choose "same day Amazon drone delivery" for my 10 pound bag of rocks if the option were presented.I grade the larger-than-expected "pebbles" with five stars, but I deduct one for the misleading image.

The fact that the water drips down realistic plants and the light attracts the reptile to it is the first I have seen incorporating this feature for animals that will not drink from a "bowl" of water. I will admit that the overall design of this fountain reptile watering system is far superior to others of its type. The animal does not have to navigate water rushing (not dripping) down a "rock" element, which is the type most commonly found in fountains for this purpose, but rather can climb into the cave-like design with the log and sip drops from the plants. The fully enclosed "reservoir" that contains the water source in the bottom of the fountain is a fantastic design element (most fountains have an open reservoir that allows live food to crawl into, drown, die, and build up bacteria in the system, or an open back that they can crawl into or, worse yet, your reptile crawl into and not be able to escape from and drowning). The product's subpar construction material seems to be its only flaw. Instead of cheap plastic resin, I had anticipated something more "sturdy" like porcelain. The "basin" that houses the water source is the worst portion, which will be further discussed in a moment. The reservoir's bottom, which one would think would be constructed of the strongest material, is really the CHEAPEST, being less than 1/8th of an inch thick and made of cheap plastic resin that even appears to be attached to the rest of the reservoir rather than being one solid piece. I suppose it is because of this inferior material that my $50 product arrived with a damaged reservoir bottom and a 2 inch hole already present, rendering the entire item worthless and useless. I'll sum up by saying that the design is ideal and has been a long time coming in the reptile hobby. The cheap*ss material, however, leaves a lot to be desired and is a bad reflection on Zilla's dedication to producing top-notch products for amphibians and reptiles.

Years of searching have gone into finding a decent, sturdy floating dock or wood for my two False Mississippi Map turtles. I knew I wanted to check again because one of my turtles was having trouble going on and staying dry with my old dock (shell condition issues).This item is fantastic! I adore its size and how perfectly it fit in my 50-gallon tank.The legs didn't appeal to me. The added bar at the bottom and the legs that could only hold it down rather than up made them unattractive. I basically took everything apart and put the dock and ladder in after becoming annoyed that the suction cups weren't working and the bar looked unattractive. Strong current from my filter helps keep it in one end of the aquarium.You can see from the images that my two turtles can fit on it together without it sinking. I was concerned it could sink with both of them on it after reading reviews before I purchased it, but so far, so good!Now that the legs and bar that came with the dock originally have been removed, my turtles have more room to swim. The dock's strong plastic construction is another reason why I like it because I can easily clean it by occasionally putting it in the dishwasher.The rock gully in the design is one element I find difficult to comprehend. WHY would you want to add weight to this floating dock? My main criticism of the product is this. Now it's just a waste of space and empty. The turtle should be the only weight added to this dock (s). This is another reason why, when I first saw photographs, I assumed that the dock's legs, which could support the weight of the turtle(s) plus the rocks, held up the platform. I was mistaken; the dock is actually floating.Works extremely good for what I wanted, however I didn't actually use a lot of the parts. I'm so happy it's SO huge and floats.

I'm unable to comment on how well this works for turtles, but my axolotls think it's fantastic! They enjoy swimming up and down the ramp, and when they are hungry, they ascend to the top to ask for their nightcrawlers. lol For reference, I've posted some images of Marceline and Princess Bubble Gum. It is beautifully manufactured and equipped with suction cups, so you can put it wherever and it will stay in place. It would be simple for me to add some silicone rocks or unique artificial grass even if the terf falls off. My axolotls utilise this adornment frequently, therefore the cost is totally justified.

As a chameleon owner, I am well aware of how challenging it is to locate appropriate ledges and décor that can be placed higher up a cage wall. I am also aware of how challenging it is to locate a food/water holder that can be placed higher up in a cage (without support from underneath), and even FURTHER, I am aware of how absurdly difficult it is to locate either of those things in a product that can work on a ReptiBreeze Terrarium (Full screen, no glass, a requirement for chameleons as they develop respiratory problems easily). As a full screen terrarium cannot use suction cups like a glass one, I was immediately intrigued by magnaturals, and when I discovered this product, I was positively delighted. It is INCREDIBLY robust and convenient to change the water at any moment, and it works wonders for my veiled chameleon. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is also simple to remove (if necessary), which was something I had not at all anticipated. I apologize for the lengthy review, but this is a fantastic product (I never give reviews, but I was moved). If you have a small to medium sized aboreal lizard, I definitely recommend this product. MagNaturals, many thanks!

It works really well when combined with some strong suction cups to create higher branches in the tank for our snake to ascend. The snake frequently hangs out in the branches. Additionally, we bought some fake plants with suction cups from Amazon, which gives the room a lovely jungle feel.
If you want to make a terrarium with rocks, you need to make sure the rocks are safe for your plants. Here are a few tips: -Choose rocks that are smooth and free of any sharp edges. -If you're using rocks from your garden, make sure to wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. -Bake the rocks in the oven at a low temperature for 30 minutes to kill any bacteria or pests that might be lurking. -When adding rocks to your terrarium, make sure to leave some space between the rocks
There are a few things you can do to make sure your outside rocks are safe for reptiles. First, you can make sure there are no toxic chemicals or pesticides on or around the rocks. You can also make sure the rocks are not too hot or too cold for the reptile. Finally, you can make sure the rocks are not too sharp or rough.
Reptiles are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. As a result, they are found in a variety of habitats that provide the right level of heat for their needs. Some reptiles, like snakes, prefer warm environments and can be found in deserts or near hot springs. Other reptiles, like lizards, turtles, and alligators, prefer more moderate temperatures and are often found in forests, near bodies of water, or in grasslands. Reptiles are also found in a variety of habitats around the world,
Reptiles are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external sources of heat to regulate their body temperature. They also need UVB lighting to help them process calcium and vitamin D3. Reptiles need a warm basking area and a cool hiding area in their enclosure. The size of the enclosure depends on the size of the reptile.
A reptile needs a place to hide, a warm basking spot, and a source of food and water.
