Zilla Rock Cave

Zilla Rock Cave for Reptiles & Amphibians

Providing the ideal environment for arboreal species such as geckos, frogs, and snakes can often be a challenge due to their need to be off the ground and the limited space in vertical terrariums. The Zilla Vertical Rock Cave is a solution designed specifically for such species, offering an elevated, natural-looking habitat.

Made from durable and lightweight polyurethane foam, this rock cave not only provides a safe resting place but also serves as an essential decorative element that blends seamlessly with your pet's habitat.

The Zilla Rock Cave uses strong suction cups to securely attach to the glass walls of your terrarium, allowing your pets to climb, hide, bask, or eat in elevated areas. Its rock-like design mimics natural cave structures, giving your pet a comfortable and instinctive space while maximizing the use of vertical space in their enclosure.
