don't buy it...

I built one with a rock and it was perfect...

after all that work..

they hated it. It doesnt give them the privacy they need.. too much light.

I would imagine it would stress them out a lot because it is basically like, that or nothing

I can see both ways to it. They don't have their privacy and too much light. But, if it was enclosed so you didn't actually see them, then they would love it in my opinion. I don't know how you would get them out of it if you needed to though. :)

I am going to try it anyway because some of my hides in my main tank are see through and the geckos love them. They are not transparent but translucent.

biggest problem i see with it is its foam. So it will absorb every thing. including being pooped on and that is gonna get very messy and smelly

That's a good point too. I overall think it's a good concept badly created. :main_yes:

I think I like the reptile den the best. But how much does that cost?

Depends on the size you get and where you purchase from, on LLLReptile, the small one is $17, medium is $21 and the large is $25. I have the large and my leo loves it, it is big enough for like 3-4 geckos to be in there at once too.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind the next time I go to a pet shop (PS - it won't be Petsmart or Petco). I saw a video on "You tube" that made me sick. These big chain stores are not good for the actual animal. It made me think twice about the care given to the animals. I am not talking about the individual stores....its the headquarters. I am sticking with the individually own pet shops for now on.

Just to forewarn you they will probably be more in petstores, I think when I went to get my large one they were selling them for around $40 in all my local petstores.

Maybe I should try making my own hide out of rocks and chaulk or something similar to this one. I do see the problem with the foam though. I still love the concept of it being underground. I 'll try it and if it doesn't work I will build my own.
